Setting up PARTapplicationServer as service is advantageous, because it is automatically started at start of the server and Windows mechanisms for monitoring the stability (e.g. restart at crashes) are used. (Restart delay can be adjusted via registry.)

You have the opportunity to set up the service during the PARTsolutions Server installation. Hereto simply activate the respective option.

Install PARTapplicationServer as a service

After finished installation the service "PAPPSERVER" is displayed under Windows -> Control panel -> Administrative tools-> Services.

PAPPSERVER - CADENAS Generic App Service V9

Manual installation

With the command pappserver.exe -install ^[5] you can manually set up the service in a console.^[6]

	Note
	When manually setting up the service the respective administrative permissions have to be given.

	Note
	Make sure that PAPPSERVER is really started. If not, start it now. pappserver.exe -start

UNC path in services

The installer sets up an UNC path for the AppServer service. Possibly this is not yet available when starting the service.

Furthermore UNC paths are slower than shares and local installation paths.
