This document describes the fixes and new functionality available for eProcess 5.2.0 (that is, IBM FileNet Image Manager Process Engine 3.5.4 and IBM FileNet Process Java Application, Connector and Toolkit (PJAC) 3.5.4). This document also provides information on installing this fix pack.
There are five fix pack packages; four platform-specific packages for the Process Engine, one for the web server. In order to maintain synchronization between the Process Engine and the web server, you must install one package on the Process Engine and one package on the web server (see below).
After installing this fix pack, see the eProcess 5.2.0 Release Notes on the Information Management support page (www.ibm.com/software/data/support) for information about new and remaining problems in the product.

Notes
On Windows:
On UNIX
Performing the following procedure allows Process Engine to use the largest available contiguous free memory area for shared memory allocations. Failing to perform this procedure results in shared memory not being allocated during normal execution, and the system will not function as expected.
Complete these vwtool steps to obtain the address for the largest free memory block and use that address to create a new registry key. You will then verify that address by running ipc_tool.
To configure contiguous free memory for Process Engine (Windows only)

(Biggest Free area found : 505044992 bytes at offset 0x1225A000, there are
potentially 493184 Kb available for shared memory allocation by the PE server)
Rounded up to nearest 64K boundary, for use as registry entry StartShmAddress,
best free block address is 0x12260000
In this example, 0x12260000 is the desired address. In some cases you may only see the line referencing the largest free block because the value is already at a 64K boundary.
