Service Management

Use Service Management to configure, run, and manage services and service sets.

Accessed from the designer

If you access the manager from the designer, Service Management lists the services that exist currently in the designer. You can use Service Management to run a service, publish the service to the registry set in Preferences, or export the service to a file.

Accessed on an application server

If you access the manager on an application server, Service Management contains two sections:
  • a section that displays a list of services in the registry and a list of service sets in the registry
  • a section that displays detailed information about the service or service set that is selected in the first section
Select a service or service set to display additional information about the service or service set:
  • Service Details shows overview information about the selected service or about each service in the selected service set. You can use this information to diagnose issues that prevent you from running the service. For example, the platform status shows whether the service execution component is configured for the proxy. Also, the driver status shows whether the repository contains a database driver that matches the driver required by the service. If the service requires software that enables native database access, the native data store status shows whether the native database software is installed and configured on the proxy.
  • Service Plan shows the service plan for the selected service or for each service in the selected service set. The service plan contains the parameters that are used to run the service. Many types of service allow you to change the values of the parameters that are used to run each service. If you can change the parameter values, you can also reset the parameters to their default values.
  • Service Schedule shows all existing schedules for the selected service or service set. You can schedule a service or service set once on each management server. You can set the schedule to run once, to repeat after a certain number of hours passes, after a certain number of days passes, or on a certain day of the month. If the day of the month that you specify does not exist in a month, the schedule does not run during that month. If you set the schedule to repeat, you can set the schedule to repeat indefinitely or to repeat until a certain date and time.
