Hello folks. I'm attempting to create/start a service (Windows 2008 R2) using the yajsw-stable-11.11 product, for our LiveCycle gemfire locator services.
However, when I attempt to start the service, it restarts several times and then ends.

Running the locator as a process works just fine, but not as a service.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you.

The instructions I am following are from the URL:

http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2012/06/windows-service-for-tcp-locator.html

Here is the service command:

C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe -classpath E:\AdobeMisc\yajsw-stable-11.11\wrapper.jar -Xrs -Dwrapper.service=true -Dwrapper.working.dir=E:\AdobeMisc\caching -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dwrapper_home=E:\AdobeMisc\yajsw-stable-11.11\bat\/.. -Djna_tmpdir=E:\AdobeMisc\yajsw-stable-11.11\bat\/../tmp -Dwrapper.config=E:\AdobeMisc\yajsw-stable-11.11\conf\wrapper.conf -Dwrapper.additional.1x=-Xrs -Djna_tmpdir=E:\AdobeMisc\yajsw-stable-11.11\bat..\tmp org.rzo.yajsw.boot.WrapperServiceBooter

Here is the wrapper.log output.

You aren't configuring the wrapped app correctly. When YAJSW Tries to start it, it's spitting out:

INFO|728/4|yajsw|14-02-28 09:32:32|Usage: port [bind-address] [peerLocator] [serverLocator] [hostname-for-clients]
INFO|728/4|yajsw|14-02-28 09:32:32|A zero-length address will bind to localhost

INFO|728/4|yajsw|14-02-28 09:32:32|A zero-length hostname-for-clients will default to bind-address

Your problem is somewhere in your wrapper.config.

can you be more specific please? I followed the instructions, which generates the wrapper.conf from the process, then I modify as follows:

10.Open conf/wrapper.conf with a text editor and make the following changes. ◾wrapper.ntservice.name=TCPLocatorServiceForLiveCycle
◾wrapper.ntservice.displayname=TCP Locator Service For LiveCycle
◾wrapper.ntservice.description=Starts TCP Locator

What other parts of the wrapper.conf do I need to adjust? None of that is mentioned in the instructions.

It's easier if you just attach the file

You really need to provide the syntax on what you would use to start it up without the wrapper. The parts you need are at the end of the conf file.

I suspect you need something nearer to this:

wrapper.java.command = C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe

wrapper.java.classpath.1 = E:\AdobeMisc\caching\gemfire.jar

wrapper.java.additional.1 = -Djava.io.tmpdir=e:\AdobeStorage\jvm
wrapper.java.additional.2 = -Dgemfire.log-file=GFLocator.log
wrapper.java.additional.3 = -Dgemfire.license-file=gemfireLicense.zip
wrapper.java.additional.4 = -server

wrapper.app.parameter.1 = 22345
wrapper.app.parameter.2 = APU
wrapper.app.parameter.3 = true
wrapper.app.parameter.4 = true

But, you'll need to play around. The auto generator isn't astoundingly good. It's a lot easier to hack the conf up yourself.

  I tried various incarnations of the code above, but I keep getting the following: (either as service or as runconsole)
  
  Also, it's important that the double backwards slashes are maintained, or the command is truncated with no slashes at all.
  eg: wrapper.java.command = C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe

    OK, I found out what the problem was - after I applied your changes (from abest.tandemr), I had to remove the temporary caching files that were previously generated in the e:\adobemisc\caching folder before the service would start up.
    
    So, it appears to be working now just fine!
    
    Thank you to all for your help!

hello,

as abest.tandemradiology stated, the log file shows that your app starts up correctly but terminates for some unkonwn reason.

before installing as service, one should try to get the correct configuration and run it using runConsole.bat

is the application running ok with runConsole.bat ?
if yes, but it is not running as service, this could be a rights or environment var issue.

try setting:

wrapper.ntservice.account=
wrapper.ntservice.password=

to the account you are logged to when running runConsole.bat.
note to stop/uninstall the service when doing changes to the configuration. then reinstall.

if it does not run with runConsole.bat, then you should consider checking the configuration.

looking at the configuration file you posted i see:

#wrapper.java.app.mainclass=-Dgemfire.license-type=production

did genConfig.bat generate this ?
if so, could you pls redo the configuration generation and post the command line of the process, which is printed to the console of genConfig.bat, this will help to figure out the configuration you need and to resolve the bug in genConfig.

i suppose you will need to set:

wrapper.java.additional.5 = -Dgemfire.license-type=production

  @rzo. IN answer to your questions:
  - no, runconsole also had the same errors.
  - I had tried adding the accouint/pw, but that didn't solve it.
  - the #wrapper.java.app.mainclass=-Dgemfire.license-type=production line was added by genconfig.bat, but generated a completely different error. I had to replace the line with the other one above to get it to work.
  
  thanks for your help.

Hello Harry,

could you pls provide the command line of your process which was used in genConfig.
there is a bug parsing this command line and it would be great if i can reproduce it.

thanks,
