Windows Configuration

It is possible to install EFTLink Rest API as a windows service, using a third-party wrapper. EFTLink is distributed with a version of Tanuki Software Limited Java Service Wrapper.

Follow the steps below on how to configure EFTLink to run as a Windows service.

1. Install the Service.

   1. Open a command terminal.

   2. Navigate to the <eftlink installation directory> directory.

   3. To install EFTLink Rest API as a window service, enter eftlink-rest-api install.

   4. If there are problems during installation, you can remove the service by entering eftlink-rest-api remove. This may be necessary if the service is previously installed in a different folder. The service can then be reinstalled at the correct location by entering eftlink-rest-api install.

   5. Once installed, the service can be started and stopped from a command line:

      eftlink-rest-api start

      eftlink-rest-api stop

   6. The service can also be controlled from the Windows Services Control Panel applet (Rest API).

2. Examine the log file Wrapper.log.

   1. The log file can be found in in <eftlink installation directory>\log and is called eftlink-rest-api_wrapper.log.

   2. Installing, starting the service, stopping the service, and uninstalling the service are all briefly logged in eftlink_wrapper.log. This can be used to diagnose any problems.
