Hello,

I´ve a problem to start the agent on a windows 2003 server with different java-versions. The application on the server needs a java 1.5, snapcreator a java 1.6. The snapcreator agent is configured to start under a seperate user. In the envirument of this user the variable JAVA_HOME is set to the used java version 1.6, the globle enviroment variable is set to the JAVA_HOME with java 1.5. If I try to start the agent as a service, this service would start an return an return code 1. In the log file is this entry:

[2014-02-27 13:14:53] [info]  [ 4736] Commons Daemon procrun (1.0.15.0 64-bit) started

[2014-02-27 13:14:53] [info]  [ 6300] Commons Daemon procrun finished

When I start the agent from CLI with the BAT-file, it starts and works.

Dear V. Albrecht,

Could you please provide the details below?

1) Is your Operating System 64 bit?

2) java -version

The procrun error you have reported is commonly seen when a bit mismatch occurs.

Have you matched a 32-bit java with a 32-bit OS and a 64-bit Java with a 64-bit OS?

By default, when you go to Java website to download java on Windows, it downloads 32 bit Java software.

You will have to choose 64-bit Java specifically if you run a 64-bit OS.  (from this link below)

https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Please let me know if this helps.

I am looking into ways to pass the necessary environment variables for the scAgent service.

Thanks,
Siva Ramanathan

Hi Siva,

here the answer of your questions:

1) Yes, its a Windows Server 2003 SP2 x64

2) C:\>java -version

     java version "1.6.0_45"

     Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06)

     Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01, mixed mode)

Regards

Login as the snapcreator user and please provide us this output.

set

We would like to know the environment variables that the user has.

more than the JAVA_HOME it is the PATH that matters here.

If the PATH of your snapcreator user has Java 6, then you will be fine.

Like in my case, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin is in the PATH.

Thanks.

1) From the same CMD window that you ran the above commands, please type "whoami" and get met the output.

2) A common error seems to be a missing dll

http://www.mkyong.com/tomcat/tomcat-error-prunsrvc-failed-creating-java-jvmdll/

Solution from the above link: Copy msvcr71.dll from java’s bin directory to windows\system32 folder.

Is this a file that is missing in your environment?

Note:

There is a old document that wrote from the Snap Creator 3.6 days.

Please check if you can make use of it to create a service https://communities.netapp.com/servlet/JiveServlet/previewBody/8741-102-1-15091/Snap%20Creator%20-%20Creating%20Windows%20Services.pdf

I am working with the developers to know more on this error.

Thanks,
Siva Ramanathan

Hi Siva,

I´ve checked this, but I don´t find this file in the JAVA_HOME/bin-folder. So we now start the agent as an scheduled job from the batch file and this works.

Thanks
