Thanks for your quick reply, Shalin. Tomcat is running on my Windows machine, but does not appear in Windows Services (as I was expecting it should ... am I wrong?). I'm running it from a startup.bat on my desktop - see below. Do I add the Dfile line to the startup.bat?
SOLR is part of the repository software that we are running. Thanks!
