Configuring Relay Server to Run as a Windows Service

Sybase recommends that you set up the relay server as a Windows service to ensure that it starts automatically when the host is started.

1. Enter the following at the command line, substituting all parameter values to match your configuration: dbsvc -as -s auto -w SUPRelayServer "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ias_relay_server\server\rshost.exe" -q -qc -f c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ias_relay_server\server\rs.config -o c:\Sybase\logs\rs.log

   This command configures the relay server host process (rshost.exe) as a Windows service. By default, the dbsvc utility is installed to <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\SQLAnywhere11\BIN32\.

   Note: Ensure that the path specified with the -o option exists; otherwise the command fails.
2. Start or stop the rshost service.

   From the Windows Services control panel:

   • Locate the SQL Anywhere - SUPRelayServer service.
   • To start or stop the service, right-click the service and choose the corresponding command.

   From the command prompt:

   • Change to C:\inetpubs\wwwroot\ias_relay_server\Server.
   • To start the service, enter dbsvc.exe -u SUPRelayServer.
   • To stop the service, enter dbsvc.exe -x SUPRelayServer.
   • To uninstall the service, enter dbsvc.exe -d SUPRelayServer.
   • To update the rshost with the latest relay server configuration, enter rshost.exe –f rs.config –u.
