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.
