How to setup Zbot as a services, instead of going cmd everytime and run java -jar to run file

[vikrant-yadav]

Hi Team,

I have recently install Zbot, to export test results from other frameworks. How can i keep it running, instead of running it from CMD everytime?

How can i create multiple agents ?

Hi @vikrant-yadav ,

Currently it is not possible to run the jar file as a service. It has to be run via command line only and one machine can only have one zbot installed . This is by design as the zbot is unique to each user in JIRA and having duplicate zbots in a single machine can lead to performance issue.

@BibekBehera Thanks a lot for your response. 

It means i can't create more Zbot/Agent on my machine, right ? 

I am not able to select Assignee, Assignee field is not visible , not able to see user list. Without Assignee i am not able to add Task. Please suggest how can i fix this.

You are welcome @vikrant-yadav ,

The assignee is marked "Required "from your JIRA's create issue screen. Please make the same optional so that the zbot can publish the results. Zbots are designed to publish the results from your result file to JIRA hence the assignee should not be marked mandatory is what I can think of now.

@BibekBehera One more query Sir, 

How can i use ZAPI, as i have checked this Plugin in compatiable with our JIRA instance . v 8.12.3

• Also confirm pros & cons of using Zbot vs ZAPI

Thanks
