IGL 7.2 Install application as a service

[MekalaSubramani]

What is the difference in Installing IGL application as Service and not as a service? This sounds a new feature, haven't seen this option while installing the earlier versions of IGL.

From installation guide - Respond yes or no to the prompt asking if you would like to install RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle as a service. If you select no, options related to services are not available

What services are included in this?

Hello  Mekala , 

In 7.2 we have option now to install application as service or without service.
It will prompt you during install , whether you want to install it as a service or without service.

-When you install application with/as service , then the services like aveksa_cluster, aveksa_watchdog , aveksa_server will be created under /etc/init.d and we can manage like any of service similar to previous ver.

acm start/stop/status

- Now if you install application without service , then these services will not run as a service and by running

acm start/stop/status

you may get message ,that application running in non-service mode.

So in this case the service must be run from "$AVEKSA_HOME"/deploy/init.d/.

Thank you, 

Rakhee

So the new feature is to install "not as a service".

The existing feature to "install as a service" has always been present in the product.

Remember one will chose "not as a service" in case you want to install RSA IGL without root (sudo) privileges. Earlier versions always required the initial install as root (sudo).

Clear. Thanks much for all your explanation.
