Services must use an account to be granted the permission to use the system’s resources and objects. This
information is included in the service's configuration and most services use the Local System Account,
which is granted access to all the system’s resources. All input and output services used by PReS Workflow
run under the same account. For more information on services and system permissions, refer to Windows
documentation. For more information on how to configure the account used by the services, See "Workflow
Services" on page 519.
The PReS Workflow Service Console, included in the PReS Workflow Workflow Tools Configuration
program, can be used to monitor, start and stop PReS Workflow services (See Users and Configurations
and "The PReS Workflow Service Console" on page 536).
Start and Stop PReS Workflow Service
As with most Windows services, PReS Workflow can be started and stopped automatically when a
Windows session is opened and closed. The other option is to start, stop or pause PReS Workflow manually
using the PReS Workflow Configuration program.
