GEODI Installation as a Windows Service
After installation, GEODI is turned into a service that will run continuously by starting the GEODI.WindowsServiceInstall.bat file as administrator. Windows will ask for your administrator username and password.
The user is expected to have access permissions for directories and other Windows sources which GEODI will index. If the user does not have access to these sources, you need to add authorized users to GEODI as well. If you’d like to uninstall the service, you can do it by running GEODI.WindowsServiceUnInstall.bat, which is in the same directory.
GEODI service will take its place as “GEODI.WindowsService” in the service list. You can start/stop it whenever you like.
While the service is getting started, GEODI.exe must be closed. GEODI.exe may be run when the service is started, the .exe file will connect with the service automatically. You may use this process in rare cases which require the Windows Form interface.

Mapped SourcesGEODI kaynaklarında MAP edilmiş bir dizin kullanıyorsanız veya açılışta yapılması gereken diğer işler için GEODI → Settings/BatchFiles/Startup dizininde gerekli *.bat file konulmalıdır. If GEODI sources include a mapped directory or for other works that needs to be done at startup, the necessary *.bat file must be put in GEODI → Settings/BatchFiles/Startup directory. |
Offline Environment Preparation
GEODI downloads the modules from DECE-STORE by default. If the server cannot access DECE-STORE, you should change make the update addressfollowing settings.
DECE teams will provide you *.GeodiModuleX files , and you should put them in the <geodifolder>/LocalDECESTORE folder. DECE teams will update you with new files when they are available.
Then, the ModuleStoreFolder value in SystemSettings.json should be set to <geodifolder>/LocalDECESTORE.
That’s all!
No extra processes are needed for GDE and Classifier agents.
The new GEODI setup can be downloaded and installed as usual You can update GEODI by downloading new Setup files with the traditional way.
License Update
Run LicenseUpdate.bat to open the dialog.

You do not need to stop the service.

No, GEODI will stop the service automatically and start it again when the system starts. There is no need for manual intervention. Index Changed Content and Scheduled Index Backup are active by default. As long as you don’t change these settings, you don’t lose anything in unexpected shutdowns (Killing the service manually, Power outage, etc.)

Control your licence. If you are using trial licence, make sure it is not expired. SystemSettings.json may not be a valid *.json file. UTF-8 and make sure it is valid.
There may be an invalid value in SystemSettings.json (AppDataFolder or AppPort values.) Disk may be full. Control engine and app errors under %appdata%/Logs directory.

Servis kullanıcısı geçerli mi, yetkileri yeterli mi? Şifresi değişmiş olabilir. Is the service user still valid, has enough permissions? Password may be changed. Service user must have Read/Write/Delete permissions in GeodiDataFolder as minimum.

Check if the user has access to GeodiDataFolder in the .exe or in the service mode. Dosyaların başka bir işlem tarafından kullanılmadığından emin olunuz. Make sure files are not used by other processes. This situation occurs when different projects back up to the same target directory. Revert to default settings or check your projects.

We are really sorry! Wish there was an easy way. However, we cannot offer such a way because of security concerns. You can delete … file in … directory and turn the system to the very beginning. You need to follow setup steps again. As a precaution, we suggest you to create a backup user with “Edit Permission“ authorization.
