Configuring a Station to Run as a Windows Service

You can run a script to create the configuration file that enables you to run a station as a service.

  1. Open a Windows command prompt, and from the 3DOrchestrate home directory, run the following: 

    .\code\command\SMAExeStationAsService-Configure.bat 
            profile:<PROFILE NAME> name:<STATION NAME> account:<SERVICE ACCOUNT>

    The profile specifies a connection profile name (without the .cpr extension); name is the station name as you like it to appear in the 3DOrchestrate server; and the account is the Windows user account that owns the station as a service.

    All three arguments are optional. However, if you include them when you run the script, you can add them to the configuration file and prepopulate their values whenever you use the station as a service.

    The configuration script displays a summary of the options in the service it will create.
  2. Review the summary, particularly the %TEMP% directory where the system stores the log and temporary files associated with the station as a service. If the options are satisfactory, press Y to perform the configuration.
    The script creates a configuration file in the /config folder under the 3DOrchestrate home directory.

A typical configuration file generated using the embedded Java 11 Runtime Environment includes the following lines:

# 3DOrchestrate EER Station specific environment variables are generated from 'SMAExeClientEnv' script.
