1.4.5.8.  PARTapplicationServer Set up as a service

Whenever a central PARTapplicationServer is in use, it must be installed and started as a service. The advantages are that it starts automatically when the server computer boots up and that Windows mechanisms are used to monitor stability, such as restarting after a crash (after one minute—this can be further reduced via the registry).

Installation

[Note]Note
  1. The software installation must be complete.

  2. Make sure you have a license for the app server and that it is active.

  3. During setup, just as with the server installation, you must have the appropriate administrative privileges.

    App Server Administrator (appserver-admin)

  1. Start PARTadmin.

    Dialog Box Service [Service]: Status is " Not Installed [Not installed]."

    The icon on buttons shows that administrative rights are missing. -> Click so click on the icon at the top Start the program with Administrator privileges new [Restart the program with administrative privileges].

    -> The " Install Service" [Install service] button is now active.

  2. Click on the Service button . [Install service] [15]

    -> Now the "Uninstall Service" [Uninstall service] and " Start/Restart Service [Start/restart service] " buttons are displayed as enabled.

  3. Click the " Start/Restart Service" [Start/restart service] button.

    -> The service is starting.

  4. By default, a Local System account is created. If you do not want this, you must make changes under "Services (Local)" > "Log On As."

Once the installation is complete, the CADENAS PARTapplication SERVER V12 (PAPPSERVER) service will appear under Windows > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.

If the service does not respond when it is stopped, this may be because "tasks" are running that cannot be stopped promptly.

UNC path in services

The installer creates a UNC path for the AppServer service. However, this may not yet be available when the service is started.

UNC paths are also slower than shares and local installation paths.

Operation as a specific user

Problem: If you change the operation of the PARTapplicationServer to a specific user, access to certain information may be blocked.

Services > Tabbed page "Log in" > This account

Services > Tabbed page "Log in" > This account

Example:

"Total usage" and "Usage by AppServer" do not show real values

"Total usage" and "Usage by AppServer" do not show real values

Solution: Add the user under > Computer Management > Local Users and Groups > Groups > Performance Monitor Users.
