• Install CData API Server as a Service
• Install CData API Server Manually
• More Information

After you install API Server to a location of your choice, you can either run API Server as a service or run the application manually. CData recommends using a service if you use API Server for critical applications.

Install CData API Server as a Service

You can install API Server as a service on Linux platforms. To do so, execute the service.sh script with root privilges in the application-installation directory. This file is a service installation script that enables you to start, stop, and restart the embedded Jetty server as a Linux service.

Install CData API Server Manually

To start API Server without creating a service, use the terminal to open the apiserver.jar file in the installation directory, as shown here:

java -jar apiserver.jar

In addition, API Server provides a service.sh script that you can use to set up a systemd or an init.d service on Linux systems.

See Configuration for step-by-step deployment information for running API Server in both Microsoft Windows and Linux environments.
