Knowage autostart?

Question

So, I successfully installed Knowage 6.1.1 on Windows Server 2012 R2. The problem now is that if I log out of the server everything stops. Can someone helps me how to make Knowage to stay online without the need someone to be logged on the server?

This are my quick notes to this topic when I was implementing it and it worked really well. Hope that helps:

some basic info I read to understand the point. Itis little old but basics are same. I did not implement it exactly that way but very similar: https://plavc.wordpress.com/2012/02/08/tomcat-service-on-windows/
Tomcat downloads: http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/

- check your tomcat ver: catalina.bat version
- download tomcatX.exe, tomcatXw.exe, service.bat as per your version and save to your KE installation folder
- rename tomcatXw.exe to Knowage_CEw.exe (Knowage_CE will be your service name so you can name it else if you wish)
- stop Knowage if running

- run Knowage_CEw.exe
- configure run as, initial memory, heap as per your requirements (e.g: -Xms4096m Xmx4096m  (max 2M pre x32 bit, start at 3-4G pre x64 bit)
- I also used to add to options -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 and -XX:MaxPermSize=512m since it was necessary for my instance

- configure auto (delayed) startup for Knowage_CE
- configure auto (delayed) startup for MySQL57
- add dependency on MySQL - sc config knowage_ce depend= Afd/Tcpip/MySQL57

Dear,

You have to configure Tomcat as a Windows Service.

Dear Angelo,

Happy New Year!

Please advice me how to make Tomcat running as a service, because following the link that you provided, I`m not able to find Tomcat7.exe in order to run service.bat as described in the link

Your help is much appreciated!

I continue to try to fix this but with no luck - I downloaded Tomcat 7 and use Tomcat7.exe and the service.bat script as is describes in the how-to section on Tomcat site. It ends in broken service and complete re-install of Knowage.

Please help me with advice how to set this as service, because it is described for Tomcat stand-alone installation, not for Knowage type of it.
