Legacy enPortal v4.x

Can enPortal run as a service?

Yes.

The operating system hosting the enPortal server can be directed to automatically start the server processes when the computer is booted. This will cause the enPortal AllStart command to be automatically called each time the computer is booted. This automatic startup behavior can be added to your operating system by answering affirmatively when installing enPortal and prompted for service installation. The enPortal service can also be added or removed at any time using the following commands:

portal ServicesAdd
portal ServicesRemove

In Windows, services must be removed and re-added if the location of the JDK changes.

If you create a Windows JSP service (either via "portal servicesadd" or "portaljspserviceadd"), and you are running a 64-bit Java, the service fails with the error "The Windows Search service on local computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs". The workaround is to change to the 32-bit Java version, and then the service works correctly.
