Installing Talend Runtime as a service on Windows

About this task

The Talend Runtime Container is based on Apache Karaf. Karaf Service Wrapper makes it possible to install the Talend Runtime Container as a service.

Install the Apache Karaf Service Wrapper to generate the Talend Runtime service files.

Browse to the container\bin folder of the Talend Runtime installation directory, then launch the container by executing the trun.bat file in Administrator mode.
To install the wrapper feature, type:
karaf@trun> feature:install wrapper

Once installed, wrapper feature will provide wrapper:install new command in the trun, which allows you to install Talend Runtime as a service.
To install the service, type in the following command:
karaf@trun> wrapper:install

Alternatively, to register the container as a service in automatic start mode, simply type:

karaf@trun> wrapper:install -s AUTO_START -n TALEND-CONTAINER -d Talend-Container -D "Talend Container Service"

where TALEND-CONTAINER is the name of the service, Talend-Container is the display name of the service and "Talend Container Service" is the description of the service.

Here is an example of the wrapper:install command executed on Windows:

The Talend Runtime service files are generated. You can now install the Talend Runtime service.

In the following procedure, TALEND-CONTAINER is the name of the service and is only given as an example.

Open a CMD window in Administrator mode.
Browse to the bin folder of the Talend Runtime installation directory, then type in the following command:
TALEND-CONTAINER-service install

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

You can then run the net start "TALEND-CONTAINER" and net stop "TALEND-CONTAINER" commands to manage the service.

To remove the service, type in the following command in the command window: TALEND-CONTAINER-service.bat remove
