Note

Manual installation of the PARTapplication Server as service is not needed. After having installed the MSI package, in the Start menu, you can find the entry Activate Appserver Service (Deactivate Appserver Service). At first just check if the AppServer license is included in your license package. Starting and stopping the Appserver via Start menu is much easier than the below described manual procedure. However, it is possible as an alternative.

Setting up PARTapplicationServer as service is advantageous, because it is automatically started at start of the server and Windows mechanisms for monitoring the stability (e.g. restart at crashes) are used. (Restart delay can be adjusted via registry.)

Installation

Using the command pappserver.exe -install you can set up the service via console.^{[4] [5]}

	Note
	When manually setting up the service the respective administrative permissions have to be given.

	Note
	Make sure that PAPPSERVER is really started. If not, start it now. pappserver.exe -start

After finished installation the service "PAPPSERVER" is displayed under Windows -> Control panel -> Administrative tools-> Services.

UNC path in services

The installer sets up an UNC path for the AppServer service. Possibly this is not yet available when starting the service.

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