Configuring a New ART Service

The TruckMate ART Server refers to a high-performance, multi-threaded HTTP server running TruckMate API services using RESTful (Representational State Transfer) API principles. It is a native TruckMate application that listens on designated ports making available specific endpoints that connect to a TruckMate database.

The ART Server consists of two applications:

• ART.exe is a native TruckMate service application running behind the scenes based on the configuration determined by the ARTAdmin.exe.
• ARTAdmin.exe (ART Server Administrator) is used for creating and administering ART services.

The applications must first be installed and configured in order to begin working with the TruckMate APIs.

To configure a new ART service:

1. Open the ART Server Administrator application (ARTAdmin.exe).
2. Click New Service.
3. Enter a Service Name (with no spaces or special characters).
4. Set the Startup Behavior to Automatic.
5. Select the API Service.
6. Click OK. The new service will appear in the left panel of the ART Server Administrator window.

Configuring the properties for a new ART service:

1. Right-click and select Properties from the shortcut menu for the new service.
