Running Windchill as a Windows Service
Execute the following command to configure Windchill to run as a Windows service. The service is automatically started when the command is executed.
From a Windchill shell, enter:
ant -buildfile <Windchill>\opt\ntservice\WindchillService.xml install
-DserviceName=<ServiceName>
Where <ServiceName> is a unique name to reference this service (e.g., WTService).
You can now manage (e.g., start and stop) Windchill from the Windows Services utility. It is listed in the utility under the name (i.e., <ServiceName>) that you provided in the above command.
