Issue
How can the Sigma server that is normally run as a service be run as an application?
There is need to run ModBMS DDE connection on Windows 7 (or Windows 2008 server).
Environment
- Sigma 4.05 and above
- Windows 7
- Windows 2008 server
- Windows XP
- Windows 2003 server
Cause
This is needed to run the ModBMS DDE connection to Sigma on Windows 7 (or Windows 2008 server) operating systems because they do not support services.
Resolution
Using Windows START- RUN option the following commands can be used;
-
To run Sigma server as an application (after installed as a service)
"C:\Sigma\bin\SigmaSvr.exe" /regserver -
To run Sigma server as a service (if previously set as a application)
"C:\Sigma\bin\SigmaSvr.exe" /service
It is possible to check the current Sigma Mode, by going to the computer services.
If Sigma server is running as an application "SigmaSvr" will no longer be present as a service.
If Sigma server is running as an server "SigmaSvr" will be present as a service.
