Adding the Response and Contact Tracker as a service

You can configure the Response and Contact Tracker (RCT) to start automatically by adding it as a service.

About this task

Register the RCT service by running the MKService_rct script that is provided with the Deliver software.

To add the Response and Contact Tracker (RCT) as a service, run the MKService_rct -install script from the bin directory under your Deliver installation.

The bin directory is created as a subdirectory in the Campaign installation directory when you install or upgrade to the latest version of Unica Campaign.

In UNIX™ or Linux™, run this script with a user that has root permissions or permissions to create daemon processes.

In Windows™, the name of the service is Response & Contact Tracker.

What to do next

After you run the MKService_rct script, start the RCT manually with the rct script. You manually restart the RCT only once. After you start the RCT manually the first time, the RCT restarts automatically every time you restart the operating system of the computer where you installed the RCT.

After configuring the RCT service, you can prevent the RCT from starting automatically by running the MKService_rct script with the -remove option.
