Configuring SkyVault as a Windows service

This section describes how to configure SkyVault as a Windows service in a standard Tomcat installation. To configure SkyVault to run as a Windows service, you need to set up the application server (Tomcat) to run as a Windows service.

Before you start, SkyVault and JDK 6 must be installed on your system.
  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. To install SkyVault as a Windows service, enter the following commands:

    Note: It is important to use the full path. The commands in this task assume a SkyVault installation at c:\SkyVault.

    For Tomcat 6:

    cd c:\alfresco\tomcat\bin 
    service.bat install SkyVault 
    tomcat6 //IS//Tomcat6 --DisplayName="SkyVault Server" \
    --Install="C:\Program Files\Tomcat\bin\tomcat6.exe" --Jvm=auto \
    --StartMode=jvm --StopMode=jvm \
    --StartClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StartParams=start \
    --StopClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StopParams=stop
  3. To edit your service settings, enter the following commands:

    For Tomcat 6:

    cd c:\alfresco\tomcat\bin 
    tomcat6w.exe //ES//SkyVault 

  4. Locate the service named SkyVault Server in the Services panel.
  5. Start the SkyVault Server service.
You can uninstall the service using the following commands:
cd c:\alfresco\tomcat\bin 
service.bat uninstall SkyVault
