How to Run Campaign in Service Mode, (Run as a
Service)
In order for Campaign Enterprise to serve up
the interface pages, track click throughs and
opens, the Campaign Enterprise executable must
be running. Keeping Campaign Enterprise open on
as an application can be a problem if you want
to log off of the computer for the night. It is
best to run it as a service on a server machine.
With Campaign in service mode you will be able
to track click throughs, opens, and POP check
uninterrupted without having to be logged in as
a user. If the server machine stops running (power
outage, reboot, etc.) Campaign can restart automatically
when the server restarts.
Enable Campaign Enterprise
(or Campaign Mailer) to Run in service mode for
Windows 2000, Windows NT:
Go to Services which can be found in
Administrative Tools (Windows 2000) or
Control Panel (Win NT)
Highlight Campaign Enterprise in the
list of services
Go to Properties (right mouse click
or click on the Properties button in the toolbar)
Choose Automatic from the Startup Type
drop down list
When Campaign Enterprise installs into the service
feature of a Window operating system, it will
install with Local system settings. It is best
to be logged in as an 'administrator' when Campaign
Enterprise is installed. Being installed under
the administrator logins will enable Campaign
Enterprise to start the processes that are required
for it to run when in service mode. The processes
Campaign Enterprise service will start, are the
Campaign Enterprise application, the Sender process
and the POP checking process. All of these processes
are executable files. If there are any kind of
limitations on a user, this will be reflected
in the inability of Campaign Enterprise executables
to function correctly.
Click the Log On tab
Enable This account and browse
for an Administrator account on your system.
This will ensure that Campaign has access to
all the system resources that it might need.
Enter the password for that account and confirm
it.
Go back to the General tab
Click Start to start Campaign Enterprise
Log In to Campaign While
in Service Mode Login to Campaign via
your web browser using http://127.0.0.1:(port
number) or the IP address of the Campaign
machine and the port number. Update the other
Service properties as needed.
To view the status of
the Server:
Go to the Main Menu in Campaign
Click on the Admin tab
Click the View Status button
