Starting a Station Running as a Windows Service

After you register a station as a Windows service, you can start it and allow it to connect to the designated 3DOrchestrate Server.

Once started and connected, the station running as a service is ready to operate like any regular public 3DOrchestrate EER Station.

A station running as a Windows service starts automatically when the server restarts. Therefore, these instructions apply only for a station running as a service that has been stopped manually.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • If the command prompt from the previous step (Registering an EER Station as a Windows Service) is still open, the script prompts you to start the EER station as a Windows service. Press Y.
    • If the configuration script is not running in a command prompt, start the Windows Services dashboard, select the 3DEXPERIENCErelease number 3DOrchestration Station service, and click Start Service .
    • Open a command prompt, and run the following script from the 3DOrchestrate home directory:
      .\code\command\SMAExeStationAsService-Start.bat
      At the prompt, press Y to start the EER station as a service.
    The User Account Control dialog box appears.
  2. Click Yes.
