Installing a Transport Bridge as a Windows Service

One command installs the transport bridge as Windows service.

Model your command line on this template:

prunsrv.exe //IS/tibbridge
 --DisplayName="TIBCO FTL tibbridge Transport Bridge"
 --StartImage=TIBCO_HOME\ftl\version\bin\tibbridge.exe
 --LibraryPath=TIBCO_HOME\ftl\version\bin
 --StartParams=-rs;realm_server_URL;-n;bridge_name
 --DependsOn tibrealmserver

Notice these aspects of this command line template:

  • --StartImage is the file path of the transport bridge executable.
  • --LibraryPath is the directory containing TIBCO FTL DLL files.
  • --StartParams contains the command line parameters for the tibbridge executable. Semicolon (;) is the separator character, as prunsrv does not allow spaces.
  • --DependsOn indicates the realm server, specified by its name as a Windows service.
