Running Streaming Integrator as a Windows Service¶
Note
Before you begin:
- See our compatibility matrix to find out if this version of the product is fully tested on your OS.
Prerequisites¶
- Install JDK and set up the
JAVA_HOME
environment variable. - Download and install a service wrapper library to use for running WSO2 API Manager as a Windows service. WSO2 recommends Yet Another Java Service Wrapper ( YAJSW ) versions 11.03 or 12.14, and several WSO2 products provide a default
wrapper.conf
file in their<PRODUCT_HOME>/bin/yajsw/
directory. The instructions below describe how to set up this file.
Important
Please note that JDK 11 might not be compatible with YAJSW 11.03. Use JDK 8 for YAJSW 11.03 and JDK 11 for YAJSW 12.14.
Setting up the YAJSW wrapper configuration file¶
The configuration file used for wrapping Java Applications by YAJSW is wrapper.conf
, which is located in the <YAJSW_HOME>/conf/
directory. The configuration file in <PRODUCT_HOME>/bin/yajsw/
directory of many WSO2 products can be used as a reference for this. Following is the minimal wrapper.conf
configuration for running a WSO2 product as a Windows service. Open your wrapper.conf
file in <YAJSW_HOME>/conf/
directory, set its properties as follows, and save it.
Info
If you want to set additional properties from an external registry at runtime, store sensitive information like usernames and passwords for connecting to the registry in a properties file and secure it with secure vault.
Note
Manual Configurations
Add the following class path to the wrapper.conf
file manually to avoid errors in the WSO2 API Manager Management Console:
wrapper.java.classpath.3 = ${carbon_home}/repository/components/plugins/commons-lang_2.6.0.wso2v1.jar
Tip
You may encounter the following issue when starting Windows Services when the file "java" or a "dll" used by Java cannot be found by YAJSW.
"Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified"
This can be resolved by providing the "complete java path" for the wrapper.java.command as follows.
wrapper.java.command = ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java

Setting up CARBON_HOME¶
Extract WSO2 API Manager that you want to run as a Windows service, and then set the Windows environment variable CARBON_HOME
to the extracted product directory location which is for example wso2am-2.1.0 here.
Running the product in console mode¶
You will now verify that YAJSW is configured correctly for running the WSO2 API Manager as a Windows service.
-
Open a Windows command prompt and go to the
<YAJSW_HOME>/bat/
directory. For example:cd C:\Documents and Settings\yajsw_home\bat
-
Start the wrapper in console mode using the following command:
runConsole.bat
For example:
If the configurations are set properly for YAJSW, you will see console output similar to the following and can now access the WSO2 management console from your web browser via https://localhost:9443/carbon.
Working with the WSO2CARBON service¶
To install the Carbon-based product WSO2 API Manager as a Windows service, execute the following command in the <YAJSW_HOME>/bat/
directory:
installService.bat
The console will display a message confirming that the WSO2CARBON service was installed.
To start the service, execute the following command in the same console window:
startService.bat
The console will display a message confirming that the WSO2CARBON service was started.
To stop the service, execute the following command in the same console window:
stopService.bat
The console will display a message confirming that the WSO2CARBON service has stopped.
To uninstall the service, execute the following command in the same console window:
uninstallService.bat
The console will display a message confirming that the WSO2CARBON service was removed.
