Subject: Setup a Windows service for Appian 6.7.1

Hi,

I am setting up a Windows service for Appian 6.7.1 and wondering if we still need to execute the run.bat under ...appian\\bin\\jboss\\jboss-5.1.0.GA\\bin? It looks like the Windows service only executes the start-suite.bat ...\\appian\\server\\_scripts. We still need to manually execute checkengin.bat and that run.bat

Thank you,
Sam...

To install JBoss as a service follow the steps from this section of the documentation: forum.appian.com/.../Setting_up_JBoss_as_a_Windows_Service.

JBoss has to start once the engines are up and running, meaning checkengine.bat reports all are in "Okay" status, so I definitely recommend keep the JBoss service configured to use a "Manual" start-up. The Appian 6 service can be configured to use an "Automatic" one.

Checkengine is an on-demand monitoring tool to review the status of the engines, therefore, it is executed manually as needed.

If checkengine is a concern you can still schedule it to run automatically via scheduled task or using the "Windows Appian Monitoring Tool" library available for download here in Appian Forum under the "Shared Components" section (forum.appian.com/.../components)- "Libraries and Utilities" - "View all Libraries and Utilities" -

Eduardo, we need something similar. We have 7.2 appian version installed on Unix with JBoss EAP 6. It's possible to start appian engine automatically? And how can we automatically execute the following actions:
1. Start appian engine
2. Check all appian services
3. Start Jboss aplication server

Thanks,

There are no out of the box tools to start Appian automatically. You will have to write your own shell script to do so.

Remember that it's not recommended to automate the start-up of JBoss unless your script monitors the output of checkengine to confirm all engines show an "Okay" status before actually starting JBoss.
