Within a process control system, processes must be grouped together in services. You can group related processes in a service to make them easier to manage.
After a service is correctly configured, it can be managed by process control.
You can configure a service to start automatically when the process agent starts. Alternatively, you can start a service manually.
A service can be configured either as a master service on which other services depend, or as a non-master service. When started automatically by process control, master services are started before non-master services.
