Service Manager

Welcome to the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to the Service Manager. The Service Manager allows you to stop and start Geo SCADA Expert services.

The Service Manager is only installed on the Geo SCADA Expert server and is not available on a Client installation.

To run the Service Manager:

In Windows, select the Start menu. Scroll down the alphabetical list of installed applications and expand the EcoStruxure Geo SCADA folder. Select the Service Manager option. For more information on the location of Geo SCADA Expert applications, see File Locations.

If the Windows User Account Control prompt is displayed, select Yes to allow the Service Manager application to make changes to your computer. The Service Manager is displayed.

The list of Geo SCADA Expert services appears in the Services Manager window. The number of services listed depends on which services were installed.

The Stop / Start buttons allow you to change the state of the services. When you select a Stop button for a selected service then the system stops that service in a controlled fashion and indicates that the service is stopped.

If Group Instance propagation is in progress when you stop the Geo SCADA Expert server, the server will shut down after the pending transactions have been completed.

To restart a service select the Start button.

NOTICE

LOSS OF REFERENCE DATA

In a stand-alone system stopping a service can lead to a loss of reference data. In a Main-Standby system you should only stop the services on one of the servers to avoid the loss of any reference data.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in the lost of reference data.
