1.1 imagotag Core Service Dashboard
To get a better overview accross your complete ESLsystem you can use the new dashboard.
All kind of helpful information is collected here. You'll find the dashboard under http://<core-
service-ip>:<port>/service/dashboard.xml
1.2 Running the imagotag Core Service as a background service
The imagotag Core Service may be started as a normal application, but on a productive system
it is usually required to have it automatically started without a user logged in. To achieve this
the imagotag Core Service can be registered as a Windows service. It is than started
automatically without any graphics user interface.
To install the imagotag Core Service as a Windows service the batch file install_service.bat is
provided. If this file is executed with administrator privileges (Right click – Run as
Administrator) it will install the imagotag Core Service installation from the same directory as a
Windows service with the name ESL_SERVICE.
The file uninstall_service.bat will remove the Windows service if executed with administrator
privileges.
If you have any problems regarding the background service:
l Check if you have installed the correct JAVAversion corresponding to your system
(x86/x64)
l If the imagotag Core Service is already installed as a Windows service you have to unin-
stall it first (uninstall_service.bat) and reinstall it again (install_service.bat).
