QUALIWARE SERVER DAEMON.NET (QWNTSECSERVICE)

Last updated on

Starting from release 2015.03b with on QualiWare web platform is installed a new service, the QualiWare Server Daemon Service (QWNTSECSERVICE. Exe), which will gradually replace the classic QualiWare Service Server Daemon QWNTSEC.Exe, carrying out the same activities.

At the time the service QWNTSECSERVICE. Exe can perform the following tasks:

  • Document importing*
  • File monitor
  • KPI evaluation*
  • Mail sending
  • Security alignment*
  • Waiting Tasks update

(*)These activities are available from the release 2015.03c

When the QWNTSecService service is activated, the classic QNTSEC.EXE service don’t execute those activities.
Since the release 2015.03c recommend disabling the service based on QWNTSEC.EXE.

Installation of the service

1) The service must be manually installed by running the following command from a command prompt in administrator mode enabled:

c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil /ServiceName="QWNTSecService" /DisplayName="QualiWare Server Daemon .NET Service" "C:\program files (x86)\qualiware web server\bin\qwntsecservice.exe"

Note: the “qwntsecservice.exe” file path could vary according to the actual settings used when installing QualiWare Web Server.

If on the server there are multiple installations of QualiWare Web Server, you must specify the correct path to QWNTSECSERVICE. Exe, and specify different service names and descriptions, (“DisplayName” and “ServiceName” parameters).

2)When you run the above command, you will be prompted for the name and password of the user who will perform the service. It is strongly suggested to use the same username used for the classic QWNTSEC service. Exe.

Note: remember to specify in your username even its domain:

user: domain\username

3)You can check the status of your service in the QualiWare Server Daemon Configuration on the web version.

4) It is suggested to schedule a periodic restart of the service (for example once a day) by scheduling the execution of the two commands of “start and stop”on different instructions and at a distance of at least a couple of minutes.

net stop <service name>
net start <service name>

TECHNICAL NOTES

  1. Classic QWNTSEC service. Exe and the new service, net QWNTSECSERVICE. EXE use the same library for the execution of the activities, the QWNTSEC. DLL installed in c:\program files (x 86) \qualiware\bin for the Client/Server version and in C:\program files (x 86) \qualiware server\bin web to the Web version. Therefore if you do not enable the new service net but decide to continue to use the classic service, the algorithm that will be used to carry out the activities described at the beginning of this article is the same that would be used if it would activate the new service.
  2. If it is decided to continue to use the classic QWNTSEC. EXE  service also for activities that can be performed by the new service, you must install the Crystal Reports Runtime 2010 on the server where the service is installed, by downloading it from here. In the case where on the server has been installed yet the QualiWare Web Server, this step is not necessary.
