Running the probe

You run the probe from the command line. On Windows operating systems, you can run the probe as a service.

To start the probe, use the following command:

%OMNIHOME%\probes\win32\nco_p_itron_owce

To run the probe as a Windows service, use the following steps:
  1. To run the probe on the same host as the ObjectServer, use the following command to register it as a service:

    %OMNIHOME%\probes\win32\nco_p_itron_owce /INSTALL /DEPEND NCOObjectServer

  2. To run the probe on a different host to the ObjectServer, use the following command to register it as a service:

    %OMNIHOME%\probes\win32\nco_p_itron_owce /INSTALL

  3. Use the Microsoft Services Management Console to start the probe service NCO NONNATIVE Probe (NCOITRONOWCEProbe).
