Installing BI Services as Windows Service

Question

Hi All,
I am on 64 bit windows server 2008, I have done a simple install of obiee 11g. So I have only Admin Server
and no managed server.
I need to install the weblogic as windows service. And this is what i have done till now
1. Modified the boot properties file to enter the login and password (weblogic/Welcome1)
2. Set system environment variables BI_ORACLE_HOME and JAVA_HOME
3. Modified the installsvc.cmd file to enter the following
     a.
     b.
     c.-log:"E:\MW_OBI\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\AdminServer-stdout.txt
4. created the installAdminServer_service.cmd file with following contents
echo off
SETLOCAL
set DOMAIN_NAME=bifoundation_domain
set USERDOMAIN_HOME=%Middlewarehome%\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain
set SERVER_NAME=AdminServer
set PRODUCTION_MODE=true
call "%Middlewarehome%\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd"
call "%Middlewarehome%\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\installSvc.cmd"
ENDLOCAL
5.Now when I run this, it does run something but doesn't install the "beasvc %DOMAIN_NAME%_%SERVER_NAME%"
service as expected.
This is the extract from my installsvc.cmd file. What is that I am missing? Is there any variable which
needs to be set. What could be the issue. Does this work for 64 bit machine?

@rem This script is used to install WebLogic Server as a Windows Service.
@rem
@rem To create your own start script for your domain, simply set the
@rem SERVER_NAME variable to your server name then call this script from your
@rem domain directory.
@rem
@rem This script sets the following variables before installing
@rem WebLogic Server as a Windows Service:
@rem
@rem WL_HOME - The root directory of your WebLogic installation
@rem JAVA_HOME - Location of the version of Java used to start WebLogic
@rem Server. This variable must point to the root directory of a
@rem JDK installation and will be set for you by the installer.
@rem See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page
@rem (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html)
@rem for an up-to-date list of supported JVMs.
@rem PATH - Adds the JDK and WebLogic directories to the system path.
@rem CLASSPATH - Adds the JDK and WebLogic jars to the classpath.
@rem
@rem Other variables that installSvc takes are:
@rem
@rem WLS_USER - admin username for server startup
@rem WLS_PW - cleartext password for server startup
@rem ADMIN_URL - if this variable is set, the server started will be a
@rem managed server, and will look to the url specified (i.e.
@rem http://localhost:7001) as the admin server.
@rem PRODUCTION_MODE - set to true for production mode servers, false for
@rem development mode
@rem JAVA_OPTIONS - Java command-line options for running the server. (These
@rem will be tagged on to the end of the JAVA_VM and MEM_ARGS)
@rem JAVA_VM - The java arg specifying the VM to run. (i.e. -server,
@rem -client, etc.)
@rem MEM_ARGS - The variable to override the standard memory arguments
@rem passed to java
@rem
@rem
@rem MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES - Number of attempts the Windows Service will make to check
@rem if the Weblogic Server is started. If this variable
@rem is specified along with HOST and PORT, the Windows Service will
@rem wait until the Weblogic Server is started.
@rem HOST - IP address of the Weblogic Server
@rem PORT - Port number where the WebLogic Server is listening for requests
@rem
@rem jDriver for Oracle users: This script assumes that native libraries
@rem required for jDriver for Oracle have been installed in the proper
@rem location and that your system PATH variable has been set appropriately.

Hi Ronny,
The procedure does work for 64-bit machines. I have done for OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on Windows 2008 64-bit machine.
In your installAdminServer_service.cmd file, turn on echo and check if you get additional information. This will help you know which steps are getting executed and which aren't.
Also, you can cross check your steps with document on Oracle Support - How to Install MS Windows Services For FMW 11g WebLogic Domain Admin and Managed Servers.
Thanks
