Installing and Running the JADE Remote Node Access Utility

The JADE Remote Node Access utility is installed in the directory in which your JADE binary files are located (for example, c:\jade\bin) as part of the JADE installation process. (For details about running the server node as a service, see "Running the Server Node as a Service", later in this document.)

You can install multiple copies of JADE on a server, each one having its own database and associated JADE Remote Node Access utility and JADE initialization file.

Ensure that the correct path is specified in the command line for each JADE Remote Node Access utility that you install; for example:

jadrap path=c:\jade\system ini=c:\jade\system\jade.ini

You can also run the JADE Remote Node Access utility as a non-GUI executable, as shown in the following example.

jadserv path=c:\jade\system ini=c:\jade\system\jade.ini start

The jadserv executable command has the following argument values.

jadserv path=database-path 
        ini=JADE-initialization-file-path
service=name-of-service
[name=initializaton-file-named-section]
[quiet]
install|uninstall|remove|start|startsync|stop|stopsync|run

The optional quiet argument suppresses message boxes relating to the action being performed.

Each invocation of jadserv.exe can specify one only of the install, uninstall, remove, start, startsync, stop, stopsync, or run action arguments for the service.

The run argument, specified in the registry command line, runs the service started by the Microsoft service manager.

If the jadserv command line does not contain the service=name‑of‑service argument, the service defaults to the value of the NodeName parameter in the [JadeServer] section of the JADE initialization file. If that is not present, the name of the service defaults to JadeServerNode.

For details about installing and configuring JADE in a multiuser environment, see "Installing Your JADE Software" and "JADE Configurations", in Chapter 1 of the JADE Installation and Configuration Guide and for details about the parameters in the JADE initialization file that affect the operation of the JADE server, see "JADE Object Manager Server Section [JadeServer]", in the JADE Initialization File Reference.
