Run the Marketing Services in Console Mode

Note: This activity applies only for the manually-created Marketing Service Orchestrator and Marketing Service Farms. See MineMarket Marketing Service Farms. If using the Marketing Service On-demand Orchestrator and automatically-created Marketing Service Farms, see Run the MineMarket Marketing Service in Console Mode.

Use this activity to run the Marketing Service Orchestrator and Farms manually in server console windows. This can be used to troubleshoot problems associated with the Marketing Services because status messages display in the server console window. It is not necessary to run every Marketing Service in console mode. For example, the Marketing Service Orchestrator can be run in console mode for troubleshooting, while the Marketing Service Farms are run as regular Windows Services.

Note: The following instructions use the /CONSOLE parameter to run the Marketing Services. If required, the /R parameter can be used as an alternative.

Activity Steps

1. For the Marketing Service Orchestrator:
   1. Start Windows Command Prompt.
   2. Enter the following script, but substitute MineMarketPath with the full path of the MineMarket installation folder.
      Copy

      MineMarketPath\BulkTrak.MarketingService.exe /CONSOLE /M=3

   Note: Entering /M=3 assumes that there will be three Marketing Services Farms. Any number can be entered.

2. For each Marketing Service Farm:
   1. Start Windows Command Prompt.
   2. Enter the following script, but substitute MineMarketPath with the full path of the MineMarket installation folder.
      Copy

      MineMarketPath\BulkTrak.MarketingService.exe /CONSOLE /F=1

   Important: Assign a unique number in the parameters for each Marketing Service Farm. The total number of Marketing Service Farms must equal the value entered in the parameters for the Marketing Service Orchestrator.
