The ServiceManager serves to start, stop and access components such as the Automation Engine processes or agents from a central point.
The ServiceManager starts the programs in the background, grants access to particular properties and ends the program if necessary. It is available for Windows and UNIX.
On Windows, install the ServiceManager program as a service. The Automation Engine components can then automatically start in the background during Windows system start-up without having to be entered as a service.
A ServiceManager must be available on the same computer as the components which it uses. If the components are installed on different hosts, you must install a ServiceManager on each of these computers.
Select the start type "Automatic" in the service properties if the ServiceManager should be started together with Window,.
The ServiceManager can be controlled with the support of two programs. The dialog program and the command line program allow access to all components to be started by the ServiceManager. The administrator can also define and modify start conditions and logon information with these programs. It is not necessary to run the dialog program and/or the command line program on the same computer on which the ServiceManager has been installed.
