Introduction

In this article, we’ll explain how to set up JTL-Worker as a Windows service for your JTL-Wawi.

Prerequisites

Setting Up JTL-Worker as a Windows Service

First, connect to your JTL-Wawi server via Remote Desktop.

Then press CTRL + R and type powershell.exe to open PowerShell, and then run the following command:\n

If the jtl-wawi user does not exist on your system, simply replace this part of the path with your Windows username.

Next, open File Explorer and, if you are using JTL-Wawi 1.XX.YY, navigate to the following directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\JTL-Software

If you are using JTL-Wawi version 2.X.Y, please use the following path instead:

C:\Program Files\JTL-Software\JTL-Wawi

If you are using JTL-Wawi 1.XX.YY, please look for the following file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\JTL-Software\JTL-Worker Windows Service Install.bat

If you are using JTL-Wawi version 2.X.Y, please use the following path instead:

C:\Program Files\JTL-Software\JTL-Wawi\JTL-Worker Windows Service Install.bat
