OBIEE 11g as a service in windows

Question

Here are the steps to configure OBIEE 11g as windows service.
Admin server and bi server needs to be configured as service.
Create boot.properties files with weblogic admin username and password in security folder.
Here are the changes I made to make it work. I created two copies of installsvc.cmd file in wls_home/server/bin and renamed them to be used in scripts and make changes.
One for admin server and other for node manager (bi server).
cmd file for admin server.
SETLOCAL
set DOMAIN_NAME=bifoundation_domain
set USERDOMAIN_HOME=D:\BI\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain
set SERVER_NAME=AdminServer
set MEM_ARGS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m
cd %USERDOMAIN_HOME%
call %USERDOMAIN_HOME%\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd
call "D:\BI\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\installSvc_Admin.cmd" --see comment below.
ENDLOCAL
Added delay parameter.(it is in milliseconds)
rem *** Install the service
"%WL_HOME%\server\bin\beasvc" -install -svcname:"beasvc %DOMAIN_NAME%_%SERVER_NAME%" -delay:120000 -javahome:"%JAVA_HOME%" -execdir:"%USERDOMAIN_HOME%" -maxconnectretries:"%MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES%" -host:"%HOST%" -port:"%PORT%" -extrapath:"%EXTRAPATH%" -password:"%WLS_PW%" -cmdline:%CMDLINE%
CMD file to start BI server and make it wait for the admin server to come up.
SETLOCAL
set DOMAIN_NAME=bifoundation_domain
set USERDOMAIN_HOME=D:\BI\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain
set ORACLE_BI_HOME=d:\BI\Oracle_BI1
set SERVER_NAME=bi_server1
set PRODUCTION_MODE=true
set ADMIN_URL=t3://hostname:7001 - if you are using ssl it is should be t3s
set MEM_ARGS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m
cd %USERDOMAIN_HOME%
call %USERDOMAIN_HOME%\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd
call "D:\BI\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\install_OBIEE_Svc.cmd"
ENDLOCAL
In install_OBIEE_Svc.cmd (copy of installsvc.cmd) file added dependency and delay parameter
rem *** Install the service
"%WL_HOME%\server\bin\beasvc" -install -svcname:"beasvc %DOMAIN_NAME%_%SERVER_NAME%" -dependency:"beasvc bifoundation_domain_AdminServer" -delay:12000 -javahome:"%JAVA_HOME%" -execdir:"%USERDOMAIN_HOME%" -maxconnectretries:"%MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES%" -host:"%HOST%" -port:"%PORT%" -extrapath:"%EXTRAPATH%" -password:"%WLS_PW%" -cmdline:%CMDLINE%
I have tested it and it works.
Provide feed back to this thread, works or fails. This allows me to update the comments with solution to any problem faced.

Hi
Have managed to run oc4j as a service as follows under xp pro
Download runexescv from http://www.judoscript.com/goodies/index.html
Unpack and run
Create service say OracleOc4j
Needs basic parameters setup
Cmdline and Home
My setup is
debug=false
cmdline=c:\ora9ias\jdk\bin\java - Dorg.omg.CORBA. ORBClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB -Doracle.security.jazn.config=c:\ora9ias\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\config\jazn.xml -Doracle.home=c:\ora9ias -DORACLE_HOME=c:\ora9ias -jar c:\ora9ias\j2ee\home\oc4j.jar -userThreads -config c:\ora9ias\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\config\server.xml
( all from startinst.bat )
home=C:\ora9ias\j2ee\home\
Save and close
Oracleoc4j will now be set up as service
Change service to auto and start service !!
Appears to be neat and easy way of setting up an OC4J service
