Configuring watcher initialization: Windows
The watcher runs as a Windows service. Optionally, you can set the startup configuration: use the Windows registry to set default values, and the watcher uses them when it starts.
Note: In the future when you upgrade to a new version of Speech Suite, the new installation overwrites the registry configuration (and any customizations you've made). As a best practice, keep track of your customizations. After an upgrade, re-implement the customizations in the registry as necessary.
To modify watcher parameters in the Windows registry:
- Stop the watcher service. (See Starting and stopping the watcher service manually.)
- Open a command-prompt window.
- Enter "%NUANCE%\x86\bin\watcher-daemon-win32-service-init -option value" (see the options below).
- Start the watcher service.
The options are:
Option | Description |
---|---|
-a |
Sets watcher startup parameters and replaces all existing watcher settings in the registry. For example: > "watcher‑daemon‑win32‑service‑init -a watcher.Modules=snmp... other_watcher_cfg_parameters"
For a list of initialization settings, see Configuration parameters . You must supply all needed parameters (not just the parameter you want to change. To get a copy of the current parameters:
|
-i |
Installs the watcher as a manual service. After issuing this command, you must start the watcher manually from the Services window whenever the system restarts. |
-l | Installs the watcher as an automatic service. Default. |
-p |
Specifies the location of the watcher executable, watcher‑daemon‑win32‑service.exe. For example: > "watcher-daemon-win32-service-init -p c:\path\watcher‑daemon‑win32‑service"
|
-u | Uninstalls the watcher as a service. You must stop the watcher (Nuance Watcher Daemon) from the Services window first. |
