To Create the Windows Service

1. Create a text file named passwordfile and save it to a local directory. Add the following text to the file:

   AS_ADMIN_ADMINPASSWORD=adminadmin

   AS_ADMIN_MASTERPASSWORD=changeit

   AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=adminadmin

   ---

   Note –

   If you changed any of the default passwords, substitute the actual values for the default values in the text above.

   ---

2. Save and close the password file.

3. Enter the following at the command line.

   ---

   Caution –

   This text, and the text in the example below, has been wrapped for readability. When you enter this command, enter it all on one line and substitute a space for each line break.

   ---

   C:\WINDOWS\system32\sc.exe create service-name binPath= "fully-qualified-path-to-appservService.exe \"fully-qualified-path-to-asadmin.bat start-domain --user admin --passwordfile fully-qualified-path-to-password-file domain-name\" \"fully-qualified-path-to-asadmin.bat stop-domain domain-name\"" start= auto DisplayName= "display-name"

   where:

   • service-name is the name you want to give the service; for example, “DOMAIN1”.

   • domain-name is the name of the domain you are creating the service for. The default domain is named domain1.

   • display-name is the name of the service as you want it to appear on the Services window.

   The following example creates a service named “Java CAPS DOMAIN1” that starts and stops the domain named domain1, which was installed in the default Java CAPS location. It uses the password file C:\JavaCAPS62\appserver\passwordfile. Again, in an actual command line, this would be entered all in one line with spaces in place of the line breaks below.

   C:\WINDOWS\system32\sc.exe create DOMAIN1 binPath= "C:\JavaCAPS62\appserver\lib\appservServer.exe \"C:\JavaCAPS62\appserver\bin\asadmin.bat start-domain --user admin --passwordfile C:\JavaCAPS62\appserver\passwordfile domain1\" \"C:\JavaCAPS62\appserver\bin\asadmin.bat stop-domain domain1\"" start= auto DisplayName= "JavaCAPS DOMAIN1"

   The output is [SC] CreateService SUCCESS.
