Configuring Services Using the OpenAccess SDK Management Console : Configuring Services in a Client/Server Configuration : Creating a Service
 

Creating a Service

When you install OpenAccess SDK, the agent service, at least one data access service and one or more service templates are installed. You can use the OpenAccess SDK Manager to create additional services based on the service templates and to modify the default service attributes defined in the service templates:
*Agent service
*Service for C/C++
*Service for Java
*Service for .NET
In most cases, the service templates provide a configuration that can be used with few modifications. Not all service attributes are defined in the templates.
See OpenAccess SDK Service Attributes for more information about service attributes.
To create a data access service:
1. In the console tree, right-click Services, and click New / Service.
2. On the Select Service type window, the wizard prompts you to choose the type of service to create.The Select Service type window with a drop-down list to choose the type of service to create
From the Service Type drop-down list, select the type of service you want to create; then, click Next.
3. The wizard prompts you for service information.The Add Service: Service information window with fields to enter service name and TCP port
Perform the following actions:
a. In the Service Name field, type the service name you want to use for the new service. The service name must be unique (not used by another service).
b. In the TCP port field, type the number of the TCP/IP port on which the new service will be listening. The port must be an available port (cannot be used by another service).
c. Click Next.
4. The wizard prompts you to register the service on the host machine. The default is to register the service, which makes the service information available to the operating system. This is required on Windows if you want to start your service through the OpenAccess SDK Manager or the Service Control Manager.The Add Service: Register Service window with a check box to register the service
5. Click Finish to create the new service.
