Note

Before you begin:

  • To find out if this version of the product has issues running on your OS due to the JDK version, see the known incompatibilities section.
  • To find out if this version of the product is fully tested on your operating system, see the compatibility matrix.

Prerequisites

  • Install JDK and set up the JAVA_HOME environment variable. For more information, see Installation Prerequisites.
  • Download and install a service wrapper library to use for running your WSO2 product as a Windows service. WSO2 recommends Yet Another Java Service Wrapper (YAJSW) , and several 11.XX versions, and several WSO2 products provide a default wrapper.conf file in their the <PRODUCT_HOME>/bin/yajsw/ directory. The instructions below describe how to set up this file.

Setting up CARBON_HOME

Extract the Carbon-based product that you want to run as a Windows service, and then set the Windows environment variable CARBON_HOME to the extracted product directory location. For example, if you want to run ESB 4.9.0 as a Windows service, you would set CARBON_HOME to the extracted wso2esb-4.9.0 directory.
