Controlling Services
The left part of the PlanetPress Workflow Service Console displays a list of the PlanetPress
Workflow services and is used to control these services.
To start a stopped service:
1. Right-click on the service.
2.
Click on Start.
3. Look in the Log window on the right to see the service starting.
To stop a service that is running:
1. Right-click on the running service.
2.
Click on Stop.
If the service is currently processing a file (if a process is running, output is being
generated, job being received, etc), the service will wait for this action to complete before
stopping.
To pause a service temporarily:
1. Right-click on the running service.
2.
Click on Active to remove the checkmark.
If the service was currently processing a file, the service will wait for this action to
complete before pausing. Once paused, the service is still "started" but will wait until it is
activated again before processing jobs. This is very useful if you want to receive jobs from
external services (such as with the LPD Server) but not process them right away.
To kill (force quit) a service:
1. Right-click on the running service.
2.
Click on Kill.
3.
Click OK to confirm on the warning.
If the service is currently processing a file, execution will stop and the action will not
complete. If the action was partially completed (for example writing a large file), the partial
action is not undone. As this may lead to corrupted or incomplete files, it is strongly
advised not to kill a service unless it is absolutely necessary to do so.
