Installing the Integration server (ISMAIN.EXE) as a windows service

This section should be completed by a systems engineer. Not all exes including e.g. ISMIAN.EXE can be run as a Windows service application on all windows platforms i.e Server 2003. Therefore, you may need to use a tool from the Windows Resources Kit that gets launched as a service then calls the Integration server Exe ISMAIN.EXE.

In order to install ISMAIN as a service you will need to do the following:

      Download and install the Windows Resource Kit Tool from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17657       

      Using a DOS Command Prompt, navigate to the newly installed Resource Kit, e.g. CD c:\program files\Windows Resources Kit\Tools

      Enter the following command: instsrv “Zavanti Integration” “c:\program files\Windows Resources Kit\Tools\srvany.exe”

      Now check the server services control panel and look for “Zavanti Integration”, it should be launching and exe called “srvany.exe”

      Now launch Regedit and navigate to the following location.

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Zavanti Integration

      Right-Click on the service name and add a new key and call it “Parameters”

      Now select the new Parameters key, and now create a new String called “Application” giving it a value of the full path to ismain.exe.

      For example: “c:\program files\zavanti\erp\ismain.exe”

      With all the above done, you should now be able to start the “ISMain Integration” service, and set it to run automatically if required
