Creating a New Windows Service

Run SAP Sybase IQ as a Windows service to start the server whenever you restart your computer. Services run in the background as long as Windows is running.

Start Sybase IQ Service Manager.
Choose Create a New Service.
Name the new service.
Add the appropriate start-up parameters.

Include the full path to the database file. The server cannot start without a valid database path name.
Click Apply.
Restart Windows.

Because Window service manager reads environmental variables only at system startup, you must restart Windows after you configure SAP Sybase IQ as a Windows service.

Note:

Copy any input files that you use to load your databases into the directory where the service starts, not where the database files are located. On most systems, the services start-up defaults to the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32 directory.
To use SAP Sybase IQ as a Windows service when raw device access is required, you must grant the service Administrator privileges.
Use Modify an Existing Service or Delete an Existing Service to change or delete SAP Sybase IQ services.
