Hi,
Anyone having idea to create windows service to start/ stop BI Publisher services ?
BI Publisher comes with batch file to start/ stop service but when log off out session from the server the DOS window also get closed and service get stoped.
We need some workaround for this situtation without having any active user session on the server.
 
Take a look at this blog entry -> http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/oracle-bi-ee-101332-creating-windows-service-for-bi-ee-oc4j/

It discusses how to use the JavaService wrapper to launch the BI EE OC4J container as a service. I have used the technique with success.

I personally prefer the Tanuki Software Java Service Wrapper as I use it with non-JDE java products. It is a bit more involved to setup but works as well.

The Community edition of the Java Service Wrapper can be gotten here:

This is a link to an Oracle forum posting for another OC4J-based product that shows how to configure the Tanuki wrapper.

Thanks Justin!

I have tried to implement Tanuki solution , i need your help to make it perfect.
I can see the service is created but unable associate it with BI Publisher start up command file (oc4j.cmd).
it would be great if you can let me know where i require to enter the path of command file and which file need to be modified for the same ?
Thanks in advance for you help !

Regards,
Ashutosh
