Qlik Replicate does not restart automatically after Server reboot

[Greg_Pagan]

We have QLIK Replicate 11/2022 version installed on a RHEL 8 server.  If we have to restart the server, Replicate does not automatically restart  the Replicate services.  What are we missing in the startup files to have it automatically start up?

[Greg_Pagan]

I should add some more information.  I am trying to use SYSTEMCTL to run the areplicate start command.  It appears  missing a .service file  and a script file that are used to actually start the service.  Are those part of the install package or is that something I need to create manually.

@Greg_Pagan the service is create automatic on install, so it seems the on the install when start service it fail and you did not notice.

try to uninstall.

turn off SElinux and try to install again,

it should create the service once installation is complete and it start the service.

notes to run install as root.

we have seen customer having SElinux enforced cause such issue.

Sorry about the bad message.  Forgot that my company does that on outgoing email.

My question was about the uninstall.  I just wanted to confirm that you saying that the fix is to uninstall Replicate and then reinstall it after turning off SELinux, correct?

@Greg_Pagan 

1.uninstall replicate

2.try to turn off SElinux, temporary

3.install replicate, run as root ,, once install is complete, normally it will try to start the service,

I took a slightly less invasive approach.  I created an areplicate.service file and then used that to load into systemctl and that has given me the ability to use systemd to start the service after a reboot.  Thanks for your suggestions as they lead me to the path I took.
