configure Windows Service manually via Registry editing

Hopefully you will never have to do this because the WebService_win????.reg file should do it for you.  But in case there are problems, here is how you would manually do what the WebService_win????.reg file does automatically.

Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) from Start --> Run

Navigate to (and click on) the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MVS_WebServices

From the Edit menu, click Add Key and name it Parameters
 

Next from the Edit menu, click Add String Value and name it Application.

Pressing enter on the Name field pops up an window for entering the Data field for this name.  Enter C:\u\mvs\dsk0\100001\ecmstart.bat and click ok.  Reminder: use the correct MVS_ROOT path.

The new value should finally look like this:

Exit the Registry editor.

Somehow get into the Services window.  This might be from the control panel or it might be through Computer Management. (Note:  You can't do this in Windows 2003 because the Description is not an editable field on this form. I had to edit the .reg file and insert a new line "Description"="Enables web browsers to access Profits Plus" immediately following the  "ObjectName"="LocalSystem" line.)

Double click on the MVS_WebServices service to bring up the properties window.  Enter a Description of "Enables web browsers to access Profits Plus".
