Windows services

The

FactoryTalk Batch

Server,

FactoryTalk Event Archiver

Server, and

FactoryTalk Event Archiver

operate as Windows services. During

FactoryTalk Batch

installation, the user account specified during the installation is assigned to the

Log On As: This Account:

option, found in the (Administrative Tools)

Services

dialog box.

Running as a Windows service allows the

FactoryTalk Batch

Server to run in the absence of an interactive Windows logon. Logging on or logging off Windows during operation does not disrupt the server execution.

Configure the

FactoryTalk Batch

Server to start automatically, giving server control to Windows Services, or control the

FactoryTalk Batch

Server manually using the

FactoryTalk Batch

Service Manager. The Service Manager also controls the type of boot method that the server uses, and runs the server in demo mode.
