Starting the servers automatically

The default method of starting the Jetty application server, the AutoVue servlet, and the BlueCielo connector servlet is by manually running StartServers.bat as described in Installing AutoVue Client/Server whenever the AutoVue application server is restarted. The servers can be started automatically using one of the following methods.

To start the servers automatically when Windows boots and a user account logs on:

1. Create a shortcut to StartServers.bat in the computerʹs Startup group of the Windows Start menu. Enable the Run as administrator option in the Advanced Properties dialog box of the shortcut.

To start the servers automatically when Windows boots without a user account logged on:

1. Configure AutoVue Server to run as a service. You do this by running the following in a command prompt window:

   jvueserverx -install

2. Configure AutoVue Server to automatically start Jetty when it launches. You do this by opening the file jvueserver.properties in any text editor and uncommenting the lines that begin with the following:

   #servlet-engine.classpath=
   #servlet-engine.jre=
   #servlet-engine.cmdline=

Notes

• StartServers.bat is not necessary in this configuration.

• On Windows Server 2003, the BCConnectorService might stop when the user account logs off.

  To work around this issue:

  1. In the Services Control Panel applet, open the Properties dialog box for the BCConnectorService service.
  2. On the Recovery tab, set the First failure option to Restart the Service.
  3. Click OK to save your changes.
