| Is the Runtime Client required to be able to run an Activity Program written in Java? (similar to ActImpl.java) |

Assuming that you are talking about the Fat client the answer is yes, but it is somewhat rare these days to use the fat client. You need to give a little more information about what you are trying to do

I am asking the question because I have two MQWF servers running on windows NT. In one, everything works fine. I have an FDL with an automatic activity1 that invokes an activity program written in Java. Everything works fine. I can do the usual check-outs and check-ins, and when the flow gets to the automatic activity1, the java program is executed in the MQ server machine.
Now when we deploy the same FDL to another MQ workflow server running on the same configuration, the automatic activity1 is shown as running, but the java program never gets executed. I have checked the command line and classpath and working directory to be correct. The only difference between the two MQ workflow servers is that in the first one, the Runtime Client is checked (as viewed from the configuration program). In the second server, the Runtime Client option is not checked. |

| By the way, we are not using the Runtime Client (windows fat client) to check out/check in work items. We are using the web client, plus a custom client running on remote machines calling the Java API. |

Are you sure that the activity is in a running state? If it is truly automatic, and it is not A UPES activity then I would suspect it would be in the InError state.
One thing to check, is java in your path on the 2nd configuration?

Hi,
you are on the right track with your first append. In order to invoke a program implementation activity you need a Program Execution Agent. The Standard Runtime Client automatically starts a PEA for the same UserID (and stops it when the client terminates). Without a PEA started for the UserID that 'owns' the automatic activity the activity remains in state 'RUNNING' until a PEA is started.
You can start and stop a PEA without the Standard Runtime Client by using the fmcxspea and fmcxpeasd utilities. However using a PEA is not recommended in a production environment. Use an UPES activity instead and write your own UPES implementation. |
