This information is only valid for CAST Dashboard ≥ 2.x when using a ZIP file deployment (i.e. without Apache Tomcat). |
Introduction
The following situations require some small changes to the Dashboard deployment process so that each Dashboard deployment does not conflict with another:
- when multiple standalone 2.x Dashboards need to be run from the same server

<unpacked_zip>\dashboard-service-1.exe <unpacked_zip>\dashboard-servicew-1.exe <unpacked_zip>\amd64\dashboard-service-1.exe |
Run the dashboard-service-install.bat
The final step is to run the following file to install the Microsoft Windows Service for your dashboard:
