Please use the Lamaxu Windows installer to install Lamaxu on Windows and define a service.
In some cases it may be necessary to manually install Lamaxu as a Windows Service as described below.
Manually Installing Lamaxu as a Windows Service
The Open Source project ‘Yet Another Java Service Wrapper’, https://sourceforge.net/projects/yajsw/ can be used to install the Lamaxu agent as a Windows service.
Download and extract the YAJSW bundle then edit the YAJSW project’s configuration file named, conf/wrapper.conf. Locate and edit the properties below to match your installation of Lamaxu.
Example YAJSW wrapper.conf File
#********************************************************************
# working directory
#********************************************************************
wrapper.working.dir=C:\\lamaxu-1.0.5.6\\bin\\# Java Application main class
wrapper.java.app.mainclass=com.qm.lamaxu.Main# Title to use when running as a console
wrapper.console.title=Queuemetrix LAMAXU IBM MQ Monitoring Agent#********************************************************************
# Application Console Properties
#********************************************************************
# Title to use when running as a console
wrapper.console.title=Queuemetrix LAMAXU IBM MQ Monitoring Agent#********************************************************************
# Wrapper Windows Service and Posix Daemon Properties
#********************************************************************
# Name of the service
wrapper.ntservice.name=LAMAXU# Display name of the service
wrapper.ntservice.displayname=LAMAXU# Description of the service
wrapper.ntservice.description=Queuemetrix LAMAXU IBM MQ Monitoring Agent
Add the following lines to the end of the file. Make sure the full path to the java.exe command is set, as well as the path to the location LAMAXU is installed.
wrapper.java.command = C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.8.0_66\\bin\\java.exe
wrapper.java.classpath.1 = C:\\lamaxu-1.0.5.6\\config
wrapper.java.classpath.2 = C:\\lamaxu-1.0.5.6\\lib\\*.jar
wrapper.java.classpath.3 = C:\\lamaxu-1.0.5.6\\lib\\lamaxu-1.0.5.6.jar
wrapper.app.parameter.1 = -config
wrapper.app.parameter.2 = C:\\lamaxu-1.0.5.6\\config\\config.xml
wrapper.java.additional.1 = -DLOG_PATH=C:\\lamaxu-1.0.5.6\\logs\\
Once the wrapper.conf file has been updated, install the windows service using the command below.
