Run AIQ on Windows as a Service
Run AIQ on Windows as a Service
Use this guide when AIQ must start automatically on a Windows host and run under a managed service account. Corrected the older title wording and replaced “Appvance IQ” phrasing with current AIQ terminology.
Preparation checklist
- Confirm the Windows version, AIQ version, Java/runtime dependencies, ports, and required file-system paths.
- Create or select a dedicated service account with the minimum permissions required to run AIQ.
- Verify database connectivity, browser/driver paths, and environment variables before installing the service.
- Document log locations, startup dependencies, and restart policy.
Validation workflow
- Start AIQ manually once and confirm login and a small smoke execution work.
- Install or configure the Windows service using the approved procedure.
- Start, stop, and restart the service from Windows Services or the service manager.
- Reboot the host if allowed and confirm AIQ starts automatically.
- Review logs for permission, path, port, or dependency errors.
