Running the Endeca IAS Service from the Windows Services console

On Windows, the Endeca IAS Service is registered as a Windows Service and starts automatically when the operating system starts. This is the recommended way of running IAS on Windows.

If you have changed any of the IAS configuration files, you can stop and restart the Endeca IAS service, using the Windows Console, for those changes to take effect.

Note: The IAS Service can be slow to startup if it contains large Record Store instances and has not been cleanly shut down.

To run the Endeca IAS Service on Windows:

  1. From the Windows Start menu, go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
  2. Locate the Endeca IAS Service from the list and right-click it.
  3. From the context menu, select Stop, Restart, or Start as necessary.
  4. Exit the Windows Service console.
