Running a service or service set

Use the manager to run a service that has been published to the registry, or to run a service set.

You can run a service that has been published to the registry only if the service is ready to run. A service that is ready to run meets the following criteria:
  • The service is assigned to a management server that is active and connected to the manager. If a license is required to run a service, the management server must also contain a valid license for the service.
  • The service is assigned to a proxy that is active and connected to the manager and the management server. The proxy must also be able to run the service type associated with the service. For service types Executor and Distributed, the service execution component must be installed and configured, and the proxy must be configured to run the service execution component.
  • The database driver that is specified in the service is loaded into the repository.

You can run a service set only if all services in the service set are ready to run.

To run a service or service set, a user must have access to the Service Management tab. If the service belongs to service groups, the user must have access to the service groups to which the service belongs.

To run a service or service set by using the manager:
  1. Access the manager on the application server.
  2. Click Service Management.
  3. Open the Services folder and click the service, or open the Service Sets folder and click the service set.
  4. Click Service Plan and review the service plan properties. You can change the service plan properties and click Save to save the changes. Any changes that you make to the service plan are saved until you change the service plan again or until you restore the service plan to its default values. If you are running a service set, you can change the service plan properties of any of the services in the service set. These changes are made to the services themselves and not to the service set.
  5. Click Run and complete the wizard.
