Use this window to create a new service or edit the details of
an existing service.
Complete this window as follows:
- Name
- Enter the service name. This name must be unique within the process control
network. When editing a service, you cannot change the name.
- Auto Start Service
- Select this check box to specify that the service should start automatically
as soon as the process agent has started. Clear this check box if you want
to start the service manually by using the nco_pa_start command.
- Master Service
- Select this check box to indicate that this is a master service. A master
service is started before other services and is handled as the master service
upon which other services depend.
- If you define multiple services as master within the same process control
configuration file, the master services start in the order in which they appear
in the configuration file.
- Processes and their order within the configuration file
- This list is shown only when editing a service, and shows the processes
that are defined to run as part of the service. The order in which the processes
are displayed indicates their order in the configuration file. You can use
the arrow buttons to change the process order.
