RK812 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 To utilize SC Standalone CoreImage Rendering with FM server I'm trying to run SC server on startup. Can anybody help please with creating a content for System/Library/StartupItems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holstermedia Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I just added the superContainerServer.jar to the login items of the main admin user of the server. works perfectly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosMaker Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 On a similar note, I too am trying to set up the jar file to startup automatically on the server. This is easily done, however, I am actually trying to get it to start running BEFORE login. If the server is restarted, I cannot ask my clients to log in every time just to allow a plugin server to start running. I have tried several different ways to make the jar file into a windows service, to no avail. Granted, I might be doing it wrong, but has anyone else come up with a solution?

Smef Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 If you want SuperContainer to run as a service (which will launch before login) you will need to deploy it as part of Tomcat, rather than with FileMaker Server or in stand-alone mode. You can download tomcat from http://tomcat.apache.org/ and read the installation instructions included with the SuperContainer documentation or the manual installation instructions located at http://wo.360works.com/cgi-bin/support/productsupport.cgi/SuperContainer#SuperContainer8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RK812 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 David, am I right understanding that only SC stand-alone supports CoreImage rendering (i.e. generating thumbnails for large TIFF and EPS files)? This is what the SC docs suggest. If so, then to get SC stand-alone running automatically upon server reboot after, say, a power loss, we need to start it before login items.

Smef Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 SuperContainer can only use CoreImage in standalone deployment, which by definition can only be run as an standalone application. If you wish to use SuperContainer as a service you will need to deploy it as a server alongside either TomCat or FileMaker server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RK812 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Instead of adding it to login items of admin user I created a dummy limited user with autologin and added SC jar to his login items, also corrected permissions on the existing SC storage folders. My experience was that only SC 2.56 does resize job flawlessly, regardless of TIFF and EPS file size. The latest versions fail to generate thumbnails for 100 Mb+ EPS files.

Valentin Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 RK, Please upload the 100Mb+ EPS file via our website: http://www.360works.com/upload/uploader We'll try to reproduce and fix the issue. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
