Starting a Service

Use the Start Service command from the File menu to start running the JADE server node as a service.

To start running the server node as a service

  1. Ensure that the Run Server as Service check box in the Service Configuration dialog is checked. (For details, see "Running the Server Node as a Service", later in this document.)

  2. Select the Start Service command from the JADE server node window File menu.

    This command is disabled if the server node is not configured to run as a service or it is currently running as a service.

A message dialog then informs you that the service has successfully started.

As services are supported only by Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2008, this command is enabled only if you are running JADE under a Windows operating system that supports services (and the server node is currently configured as a service).

When services are installed or removed, entries in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM) area of the registry must be modified but standard Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2008 users do not have the necessary privileges to do this. The menu options that enable the JADE Remote Node Access utility to run as a service are disabled if you do not have the necessary privileges to install or remove an application as a service. Installing, controlling, and removing a service can be performed only if you have sufficient operating system privileges.

To run the database server with administrative privileges, right-click on the JADE Database Server program shortcut in your JADE 2018 Installation folder on the Windows Start menu, select the More command, and then select the Run as administrator command from the submenu. Alternatively, to run the database server with administrative privileges for this and every work session, right‑click on the JADE Database Server item in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\<installation‑folder‑name>\JADE MultiUser, and then select the Run as administrator command from the popup (context) menu.
