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 page654.
The PReS Workflow Service Console, included in the PReS 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 page671).
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.
Note
The current PReS Workflow status is always displayed in the lower-right corner of the
PReS Workflow Configuration program window.
To start PReS Workflow services via PReS Workflow Configuration program:
1. Click Tools in the PReS Workflow Ribbon.
2.
Click Start Service in the Services Status group. A progress bar is displayed while your
PReS Workflow is being started.
