Description:

How to use the TAO Naming Service start up options when it is a windows service?

Resolution:

The start up options that normally are specified on the Naming Service command line need to be set in the windows registry when running the Naming Service as a windows service.

This can be done by creating the registry key described below to set the Naming Service’s command line options.

The Windows Registry is edited using Windows’ Registry Editor, regedit.

regedit can be run by entering regedit into Windows’ Start | Run dialog or by running it directly from a
Windows command line prompt.

Add the following registry key using the Registry Editor:

Path: My Computer\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\ACE\\TAO
Key: TaoNamingServiceOptions
Type: REG_SZ (Zero terminated String)
Value: -ORBEndPoint iiop://213.48.91.6:10005 -o c:\\temp\\name.ior -f c:\\temp\\naming_service.dat

(Note: this is an example. You should provide the actual values specific to your installation)

If this key is not in the Registry, then NT_Naming_Service will run as if no command line options have been given.
