IAS/IDS Components Install - Version: 9.0.2 to 10.1.2
Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
Goal
To start OC4J as Windows service so that OC4J can be started automatically when system is started.
This avoids user from starting up the instance manually.
Solution
Way A:)
1. Make sure you have "srvany.exe" and "instsrv.exe" installed on your system.
These executables create and allow any Windows application to be run as "service".
2. Install OC4J instance as a service with the following command on the command prompt.
C:\services>instsrv oc4j902 c:\services\srvany.exe
where 'services' is the directory with srvany.exe and instsrv.exe executables.
oc4j902 is the name of OC4J instance to be installed as service.
3. Open 'Services' from the control panel. You will find that this is listed in the list of 'service'.
4. Click on Startup button. Set startup type for oc4j902 service as automatic.
5. Under 'Log on As', select 'this' account and select local user name.You will need to retype password .
6. Run REGEDIT.
7. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\oc4j902.
a. Create a key under oc4j902 by right clicking oc4j902 and selecting New Key.
b. Type in 'Parameters' for your new key value.
c. Under the 'Parameters' key, create an application string as follows.
Right click on 'Parameters',
select New 'String Value'
Name it as 'Application'.
d. Double click on the Application value to provide the full path of the script file - startinst.bat which starts OC4J.
Type E:\9iDS\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\startinst.bat
Here E:\9iDS is the ORACLE_HOME where 9iDS is installed.
10. Go to the Control panel -> service. Start OC4J service.
Note: srvany.exe and instsrv.exe executables can be downloaded from the following site:
