This is optional.

The following steps apply when running Windchill Index Search in cloud mode.

1. Complete the installation and post-installation steps outlined in the following sections:

◦ Installing the Index Search Server in Cloud Mode

◦ Configure the Index Search Server in Cloud Mode

2. To run Zookeeper as a Windows service, use the Apache Commons Procrun daemon (prunsrv.exe). This is already packaged with the Zookeeper installation. Navigate to the following location:

<ZOOKEEPER_HOME>\bin

3. Execute install_zk_service.bat and verify that the “PTC_ZkServer” service is added to the Windows services list and that you are able to start the service.

4. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for every host where Zookeeper is installed.

To uninstall the service, execute uninstall_zk_service.bat.

When multiple Zookeeper nodes are installed on the same host, then provide the unique service name against the SERVICE_NAME variable in install_zk_service.bat, uninstall_zk_service.bat, and zkServerStop.bat for each node.
