You can install and run Sybase ETL Server as a Windows system service. To run it as a system service independently of the Windows GUI, start the ETL Server after system start-up using a SYSTEM user account.
You must have administrator privileges to install, remove, start, and stop a system service.
To install the server as a Windows system service, at the command prompt, enter:
GridNode.exe --install [additional parameters]
To remove the service, at the command prompt, enter:
GridNode.exe --remove
When you run ETL Server as a Windows service, basic events (failures, success messages, and so on) are written to the Windows event log.
