SWService
Announcing SWService
V2.0, a Windows Service wrapper for managing Smallworld server
based applications. The SWService product enables Smallworld
server applications, such as SIAS to be run as Windows Services
with comprehensive service management capabilities.
Other Windows Service
wrapper products fail to provide sufficient control for a
Smallworld server session. Specifically if the Magik server
application crashes, the service cannot detect this and either
restart the Magik process or restart the entire Server image.
Using SWService, the service has direct communication with the
Magik server application and can check if it is running
correctly, if not then the service can be configured to restart
the magik server application or alternatively stop and start
(recycle) the server image.
Other benefits of SWService
-
Standard Windows
Service functionality allows vital Magik server applications
to automatically start when a server starts
-
Fully compatible with
all Windows versions supported by Smallworld
-
Comprehensive
statistics logging to aid with Service setup and tuning
-
A configurable check
process command can be used to detect and report if the
server has stopped working
-
With the timed command
option a magik command can be fired at the Magik server
periodically to allow the server to act as a reliable job
server.
-
Compatible with both
direct and gis_alias approaches to starting Smallworld
applications
