Deployment of ASA Personal Server
|
|
|
| ASA 9.02.2451
I've developed a client application which ships together with SQL Anywhere
Personal Server. The Personal Server has to run as NT Service. I'm now
using InstallShield 10.5 to deploy my program. The Personal Service is
deployed in the form of Merge Module(which is provided in the installation
of ASA), and I add an NT service to it by Component Wizard. After I have
built the project and installed the project, the service is added. However,
when I start the service, the following error occurs:
"Could not start the xxx service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in
a timely fashion."
I know it's a matter of deployment issue which is not but I wonder if this
is an appropiate way to deploy the Personal Server. I have refered to
http://www.ianywhere.com/developer/.../winnt_sas.html and I know
that InstallShield can be used. Is using Component Wizard to add the
service not an appropiate way? Or should I directly call the Windows API
CreateService() in InstallScript?
Thanks a lot!

| Can you run the engine outside the context of the service? Have you
restarted the machine after the install. If not, does the engine depend on
anything in the path?

| I've restarted the machine, and can run the engine in command prompt:
C:\dbeng9.exe d:\asa\xxx.db
The executable for the service is the same as above command.

| Is the service still not starting? If so, can you please check your
Application event log for errors. Can you run with -o <console.log> to
capture more information if the event log does not provide useful
information.
Is d: a local drive. Services using the System account cannot see network
drives generally.

| yes, d: is local drive.
I've checked out some InstallShield help community. It seems that I need a
service wrapper. Any suggestions? Or else maybe I have to use dbsvc (that
I'm quite reluctant to do)
