Running BMC IT Business Management Suite as a Windows service

 You can set up BMC IT Business Management Suite on the JBoss Application Server computer to run as a Microsoft Windows service.

To run BMC IT Business Management Suite as a Windows service on the JBoss Application Server

1. Download the JBOSS native 2.0.8 from the JBoss website, http://www.jboss.org/jbossweb/downloads/jboss-native-2-0-8.
   
   For a 64-bit operating system, download the one that matches your processor architecture.
2. Unzip the contents into a temporary folder (for example, C:\temp\jboss_native).
3. Copy all files from C:\temp\jboss_native\bin into your $JBOSS_HOME\bin directory.
4. Edit the service.bat file as follows:

   1. Find the following lines: 

      set SVCNAME=JBAS50SVC
      set SVCDISP=JBoss Application Server 5.0
      set SVCDESC=JBoss Application Server 5.0.0 GA/Platform: Windows x64

   2. Change them to: 

      set SVCNAME=BMC_ITBM_JBOSS_SERVICE
      set SVCDISP=BMC ITBM 8.0.00 Jboss Service
      set SVCDESC=Starts and Stops the JBOSS application server that
      houses the 8.0.00 BMC ITBM Application
   3. Under cmdStart and cmdRestart, locate call run.bat < .r.lock >> run.log 2>&1 and change to
      call run.bat -b 0.0.0.0 < .r.lock >> run.log 2>&1 (for JBOSS 4.3).
      If you use JBOSS version 5.1.1, then change to
      call run.bat -b 0.0.0.0 -c Production < .r.lock >> run.log 2>&1
5. On the command line, type cd $JBOSS_HOME\bin.

6. Execute the batch file by typing service.bat install. 

   Note

   To make any changes (such as changing the name of the service), first execute service.bat uninstall, then make changes, and execute service.bat install again.

   Your service is now set up to run. 

   Note

   When starting a service from the Services menu, the service will start in a few seconds, but BMC IT Business Management Suite will actually takes a few minutes to initialize. When the java process reaches 0% CPU utilization, the application is ready for use.
