Installing Talend Runtime as a service

The Talend Runtime container is based on Apache Karaf. Karaf Wrapper (for service wrapper) makes it possible to install the Talend Runtime container as a service.

To install Talend Runtime as a service, you first have to install the wrapper, which is an optional feature:

Installing the wrapper

Browse to the bin folder of the Talend Runtime installation directory, then launch the container by executing the trun file as root.
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 wrapper:install command executing on Solaris:

karaf@trun()> feature:install wrapper
karaf@trun()> wrapper:install -s AUTO_START -n TALEND-CONTAINER \
-d Talend-Container -D "Talend Container Service"
Creating file: <TalendRuntimePath>/bin/TALEND-CONTAINER-wrapper
Creating file: <TalendRuntimePath>/bin/TALEND-CONTAINER-service
Creating file: <TalendRuntimePath>/etc/TALEND-CONTAINER-wrapper.conf
Creating file: <TalendRuntimePath>/lib/libwrapper.so
Creating file: <TalendRuntimePath>/lib/karaf-wrapper.jar
Creating file: <TalendRuntimePath>/lib/karaf-wrapper-main.jar
Setup complete. You may want to tweak the JVM properties in the wrapper
configuration file:
<TalendRuntimePath>/etc/TALEND-CONTAINER-wrapper.conf
before installing and starting the service.

The wrapper files are installed, you now have to install the Talend Runtime service.

In the following procedure, TALEND-CONTAINER is the name of the service and is only given as an example. Note also that <TalendRuntimePath> is the Talend Runtime installation directory.

Installing the service

Open a terminal with root privileges.
Create a Solaris manifest using the following command:
vi /var/svc/manifest/application/talend-container.xml

Add the following content to the talend-container manifest:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM "/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1">
<service_bundle type='manifest' name='talendcontainer'>
<service
name='application/talend-container'
type='service'
version='1'>
<create_default_instance enabled='true' />
<single_instance/>
<exec_method
type='method'
name='start'
exec='su - talend <TalendRuntimePath>/bin/TALEND-CONTAINER-service start'
timeout_seconds='150'
/>
<exec_method
type='method'
name='stop'
exec='su - talend <TalendRuntimePath>/bin/TALEND-CONTAINER-service stop'
timeout_seconds='150' />
<template>
<common_name>
<loctext xml:lang='C'>
Talend Runtime
</loctext>
</common_name>
<documentation>
<manpage title='Talend Runtime section='5'
/>
<doc_link name='talend.com'
uri='http://talend.com'/>
</documentation>
</template>
</service>
</service_bundle>

Import the manifest configuration using the following command:
svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/application/talend-container.xml
Check the configuration using the following command:
svcs | grep container
If the service is successfully installed, the result should be similar to the following:
online 7:09:16 svc:/application/talend-container:default
