Starting the TIBCO MFT Internet Server Service on Windows Automatically

You can set up an automatic start for the TIBCO MFT Internet Server embedded application server on Windows systems.

Procedure

  1. Check if the JAVA_HOME environment variable has been configured on your server.
    You can follow the following steps to set the variable:
    1. Open your System Properties window and click the Advanced tab.
    2. Click Environment Variables.
    3. In the System variables panel, search for the JAVA_HOME variable.
    4. If you do not see it in the list, you must add the JAVA_HOME variable pointing to your Java JDK file. For example, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66.
      Note: If you created a new variable, you must restart the system before the new variable will be recognized.
  2. Navigate to the MFTIS_Install\server\bin directory and stop your present TIBCO MFT Internet Server application using the shutdown command.
  3. When the server has stopped, run the following install command from the same directory:
    service install
