WSO2 as service on Windows

Question

Need to install WSO2 API Manager as service on Windows (Have tried on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012. The problem is the same).
Documantation: https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM210/Installing+as+a+Windows+Service
I am using yajsw. And when trying to run "runConsole.bat" for testing as it was said in the documatation I got such message/error:

D:\WSO2\yajsw-stable-12.08\yajsw-stable-12.08\bat>call setenv.bat

Answer 1

We use the NSSM (the Non-Sucking Service Manager) service wrapper for the WSO2 products. This works just perfectly for all products.

Just run the nssm.exe and point to the wso2server.bat file. See the NSSM documentation how easy it is.

nssm install <servicename>

Answer 2

It is the version of yajsw. I used 11.11 and it works with no issue. If I upgrade to use 12.08 I get the same result that you do. I will attempt to find out what the actual issue is but wanted to let you know how you could get it working. I will edit this post with any updates.
