Apache Tomcat has the ability to run as a Microsoft® Windows® service.
Running a server this way can be useful if you want to run the Rational® Quality Manager Jazz™ server on a Windows-based computer
without having to be logged on.
Before you begin
The following procedure requires a batch file that is installed
with
Rational Quality Manager 2.0.1
and later. If you are running an older version of the product, no
batch file is provided. See
http://jazz.net/library/techtip/72 for
further details about setting up the Windows service
manually and using other supported databases.
