    • Method 1: Using java in a command window
      1. Navigate to <db-home>\database-connector-2.5.x
        Type java -jar database.war
      2. Method 2: for Windows OS
          1. Double click the <db-home>\database-connector-2.5.x to install the connector as a Windows service. Click the Start DBConnector Service.bat to start the service

Excerpt

The database.zip file has the following structure:

Note the files in the database-connector-2.5.x directory that are used to manage the Database Connector as services on *nix and Windows operating systems: These files should be run as an administrator.

  • Install-Service.bat - installs the Database Connector on a Windows system as a service named frevvo Database Connector.

  • Uninstall-service.bat - uninstalls the frevvo Database Connector on a Windows operating system

  • Start-DB Connector-Service.bat - starts the frevvo Database Connector on a Windows operating system

  • Start-DBConnector.sh - starts the frevvo Database Connector as a *nix console instance.

  • Restart-DBConnector-Service.bat - restarts the frevvo Database Connector on a Windows operating system

  • Restart-DBConnector.sh - restarts the frevvo Database Connector as a *nix console instance.

  • Stop-DBConnector-Service.bat - stops the frevvo Database Connector on a Windows operating system.

  • Stop-DbConnector.sh - stops the frevvo Database Connector *nix console instance.


There is another option for Linux systems. The Database Connector can also run as a service using systemd

Systemd is used by many Linux distributions.It is possible to manage the Database Connector using systemd ‘service’ scripts.

  • Copy the sample service file located in /bin/dbconnector.service to /etc/systemd/system
  • Review it's contents and
  • Make sure it is executable.

You can now use systemd to manage the dbconnector service:

  • systemctl start dbconnector.service

  • systemctl stop dbconnector.service

  • systemctl restart dbconnector.service

  • systemctl status dbconnector.service

To flag the service to start automatically on system boot use the following command:

Code Block
systemctl enable dbconnector.service

Consult the service unit configuration man page for more details.
