I just finished an installation of PDMLink 10.0 M010. All appeared to go well and I don't see any errors in the installation logs. However, when I run the command to install Windchill as a Windows Service, I see the following:
This problem has been solved. Ray Connole of Lockheed Martin suggested that the already installed and running WindchillDS Windows Service was somehow interfering with the ant command.
I stopped that service, set it to Manual, rebooted and ant ran fine. Not sure what that means for the future.
Most suggestions revolved around running in the folder where the .xml file existed The need to run as an Administrator was also suggested.
You don't have to reboot to uninstall a service. Just stop the service and run the ant command with the uninstall option. For example:
ant -f config.xml uninstallService -DJAVA_HOME=%JAVA_HOME% -DserviceName=WindchillTomcat
We had to do this when installing the agents for the PTC System Monitor (A.k.a. dynaTrace). The tomcat agent wouldn't start without uninstalling and re-installing the service. As a side note, we had to up the memory for tomcat, because the agent was causing it to bump against the limit.
