Description
We have an enhancement logged (IPAS-17712) with engineering to support Hybrid agent(aka tibagent) as a windows service. As a workaround we are listing out possible solutions until the enhancement is addressed.
1) Use tibtunnel as temporary solution as it supports registering windows service https://supportapps.tibco.com/ka/article/287/000043287.htm
2) Use 3rd party solution to register as windows service like sc.exe ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/sc-create) or NSSM (http://nssm.cc)
