Installing Talend JobServer as a service on Windows

Before you begin

To configure the Talend JobServer parameters that are passed to the Java application, you must edit the last lines of the jsl_static64.ini file. This file indicates the path to different files, such as configuration files, .jar files, and Java libraries.

To do so, edit the parameters as shown below:

params = 5
param00 = -cp
param01 = c:\jobserver;c:\jobserver\lib\*
param02 = -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
param03 = -Dtalend_props=<JobServerPath>\conf\TalendJobServer.properties
param04 = org.talend.remote.jobserver.service.WindowsJobServer

where <JobServerPath> refers to the installation directory of the Talend JobServer application and X to the version number of the packages. If you installed Talend Studio using the installer, this path corresponds to <JobServerPath>\agent.

Note: Note that the first parameter indicated is named param00 and not param01, and that the use of quotes is not required around strings holding spaces. Note also that every parameter value must be indicated in a separate parameter.

Procedure

Optional: If you want to configure a different JVM to run Jobs, you must define the JAVA_HOME variable with the path to this JVM in the jsl64.ini configuration file.
Set the PATH value with the path to the Java version to use for running Jobs, and the jrepath value with the path to the Java version to use to launch Talend JobServer.

Example
To use Java 17 everywhere, and if the %JAVA_HOME% variable isn't already set in your user environment, add the following lines under the [defines] and [java] sections:
```
[defines]
JAVA_HOME = c:\java\17.0.11-zulu
PATH = %JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH% 

[java]
jrepath = c:\java\17.0.11-zulu
```
Example
To use Java 17 for Talend JobServer, and Java 11 for running Jobs, add the following lines under the [defines] and [java] sections:
```
[defines]
PATH = c:\java\11.0.23-zulu\bin;%PATH% 

[java]
jrepath = c:\java\17.0.11-zulu
```
Open a CMD window in Administrator mode and browse to the conf directory of your Talend JobServer installation directory.
Execute the following command:
jsl_static64.exe -debug
Stop execution by pressing Ctrl+C.
In the CMD window, execute the following command:
jsl_static64.exe -install

Results

The Talend JobServer service is created and can be viewed by selecting Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services in the Start Menu of Windows.

Note that, when shutting down or rebooting Windows, the Talend JobServer service does not stop. In order to avoid issues during start-up, you need to stop the service before shutting down or rebooting your machine.

To remove the service you can enter the following command in the same command window: jsl_static64.exe -remove
