SonicMQ as a service

Yahoo Archive

You should be able to set is as a service IF you make provisions to use check for and remove the lock file.
I would start my using a bat file at startup.
If you find this works, you might look to step up to an advanced service controller like fire daemon.
You can set your service startup and run parameters. So, you can specify a bat to run first (to check and remove lock file) and then the startup parameters, if desired, all within the one service definition.
Also, it will monitor the service if you wish, so it will restart if terminated, etc...

Bill,When you start the Sonic MQ Container, it creates two lock files - I'mnot 100% where they are located, but I would take a stab that they arein the Sonic installed directory. Anyway, you will have to delete thesetwo files prior to starting the service.Why this happens? The Sonic window must be exited gracefully (i.e. hitCTRL-C on the open window). If someone presses the X on the window itwill not remove these files - probably why it will not work as aservice.Hope this helps.Jason ClaggettMicrosoft Small Business SpecialistMCP #38561592W Technologies, LLC312.533.4033 x8039jason@...: vantage@yahoogroups.com [mailto:vantage@yahoogroups.com] On BehalfOf hoomail4meSent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 1:45 PMTo: vantage@yahoogroups.comSubject: [Vantage] Re: SonicMQ as a serviceCan someone explain what this "lock file" is called and where it islocated?Thanks,Bill--- In vantage@yahoogroups.com <mailto:vantage%40yahoogroups.com> , "JoeLuster" <jluster@...> wrote:>> Did you remember to delete the lock file?

Has anyone had any success with making the SonicMQ 6.1 process run as
a service in Windows? I did add it as a service using srvanywhere
from the windows resource kit. My problem is that when I shut down or
reboot the server, the SonicMQ container is not closing properly such
that it will not start afterward. There must be something in th shut
down command syntax that is missing. Any Ideas?
3
Did you remember to delete the lock file? Also we tried to do this too,
but since it was a java app it is nearly impossible.

I can manually clear the lock. We are using Customer Connect and
Supplier connect which use SonicMQ. If the server go down, these
processes do not work until someone logs in. What a pain!

Try putting SonicMQ container one in the startup and auto login the
server. Yes, it's a huge pain.

We've been able to do it here using the process described in Epicor's
Answerbook 8516MPS (just search for "sonic service"), but it's still
touchy. Rarely when we reboot the server, the service will just not
start. We can manually start it in those cases (which would seem to
indicate there's no lock and it shut down properly), but it just
decides not to start up automatically.

Can someone explain what this "lock file" is called and where it is
located?

Bill,



When you start the Sonic MQ Container, it creates two lock files - I'm
not 100% where they are located, but I would take a stab that they are
in the Sonic installed directory. Anyway, you will have to delete these
two files prior to starting the service.



Why this happens? The Sonic window must be exited gracefully (i.e. hit
CTRL-C on the open window). If someone presses the X on the window it
will not remove these files - probably why it will not work as a
service.



Hope this helps.
