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 ser-
vice unless it is absolutely necessary to do so.
Viewing log files
The second major role of the Service Console is to view and browse log files. The Service Console can
both view existing log files, or monitor the log file for the current day and update the view in real time.
When a service is selected on the left pane, its log file (if any exists for the current day) is displayed.
The log displays in a tree fashion. The log itself is the root, and each session (the time between the
start and stop of a service) is listed. Under each session, each time a process runs, a new branch is cre-
ated and it can be expanded to see each action within that process.
