Creating the Oracle Tools Service

You can choose to run the Tools and Frameworks as a Windows service.

The user running install_service.bat and the Oracle Tools Service must have administrator privileges.

To create the Oracle Tools Service:

  1. Navigate to your installation directory.

    By default, this should be C:\Endeca\ToolsAndFrameworks\<version>.

  2. Install the Oracle Tools Service by running server\bin\install_service.bat.

    This creates the Oracle Tools Service and configures it to run under the current user profile.

  3. Configure the Oracle Tools Service to run under the endeca user.

    1. Go to Start → Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Services.

    2. In the Windows Services editor, select the Oracle Tools Service.

    3. From the Oracle Tools Service, right-click and select Properties from the drop-down menu.

      The Oracle Tools Service Properties window appears.

    4. Switch to the Log On tab.

    5. Select the This account: radio button.

    6. Enter endeca in the This account: field and the password you set for the endeca user in the Password: and Confirm Password: fields.

      A dialog box appears, notifying you that the endeca user has been given service permissions.

    7. Click OK to close the dialog box.

    8. Click OK to save your changes to the Endeca Tools Service.

  4. Start the Oracle Tools Service.

    1. Start the Microsoft Services console.

    2. Select the Oracle Tools Service from the list of services.

    3. Click Start Service.

Note

By default, Workbench runs on port 8006 of your machine. If port 8006 is unavailable on your machine, you must change this to a different port. Additionally, if you are not running the Endeca Application Controller on localhost:8888, you must update the EAC configuration for Workbench.
