There is no point in starting the service after the initial registration, since no instances have yet been created yet. You can create a new instance either with ELOxc Tools or with the ELOxc Console. You can create a new instance in ELOxc Tools by selecting Instances from the program menu and clicking the New button. Enter the basic values and the configuration and then click Save to save the instance.

As an alternative to registering services via ELOxc Tools, you can also register or remove ELOxc using a command prompt. This requires a standard command prompt window with administrative rights and you need to switch to the corresponding installation directory. The registration function call is structured as follows:

eloxc.exe –install –port:<port number> -logdir:<log directory>

To remove the service registration, use the following call:

eloxc.exe -uninstall

Once the service registration has been completed, you can create new instances in the ELOxc Console. Open the ELOxc Console in a browser.

The logon screen appears. Log on to the desired ELOix with an administrative ELO account.

Once you are logged on, you will see the overview page of the registered instances, which is initially empty. If you click the plus icon, you can enter the basic configuration of an instance in the input fields that appear.

Once you have entered all the data, click Add to save the configuration.

The new instance is now listed on the overview page.

In both cases, the basic configuration of the new instance is stored in the program directory in the file ELOxc.xml:

ELOxc.xml determines the scope of registered ELOxc instances on a system and is evaluated at each service start. The connection to the ELO repository is based on these parameters alone. The XML file also contains the corresponding configuration. You can remove the instances again in the same areas of the ELOxc Console or ELOxc Tools.

Please note: The instances you create are the basis for the configuration structure in the ELO repository. A folder with the name of the new instance is created in the repository path //Administration//ELOxc Base//SERVICE and //Administration//ELOxc Base//WORKSPACE. If the instance is deleted at some point, only the relevant entry is removed from ELOxc.xml, while the configuration structures in the repository are moved to the path //Administration//ELOxc Base//BACKUP.
