Utility description

The utility SCS Config is a Windows application. Starting the file scsconfig.exe opens the following window:

The window contains a list of services monitored by the utility Startcli. The window allows users to:

Pressing the key F5 refreshes the list of services.

Creating a new service

Stopping a service

• Stop WD - if you want to stop only the monitoring service (StartCli utility). D2000 process will not be stopped.
• Stop WD and D2000 Services - if you want to stop both the monitoring service (StartCli utilita) and D2000 service. Then, D2000 service will be stopped too.

Deleting a service

Select required service in the SCS Config window and click the button Delete.

Naming convention recommendations.

The goal is to define a convention so that multiple processes (KOM, EVH, ARC, others) of multiple applications can run on a remote computer; including non-D2000 processes that cooperate with the D2000.

We recommend not to use spaces and give the same name for both Service name and Display name.

Instance processes:

Watch dog            =>            D2WD_<APPLICATION>_<Process>.<SUFFIX>_<instancia>
D2000 proces       =>            D2000_<APPLICATION>_<Process>.<SUFFIX>_<instancia>

Examples:

D2WD_MES_ReportGenerator.EVH_1

D2000_MES_ReportGenerator.EVH_1

D2WD_OD_Sysprof.KOM_2
D2000_OD_Sysprof.KOM_2

Non-instance processes:

Watch dog            =>            D2WD_<APPLICATION>_<Process>.<SUFFIX>

D2000 proces       =>            D2000_<APPLICATION>_<Process>.<SUFFIX>

Example:

D2WD_MES_ReportGenerator.EVH

D2WD_MES_Sysprof.EVH

D2WD_OD_Sysprof.KOM
D2000_OD_Sysprof.KOM

Third-party processes:

Third-party process             =>            D2000_< APPLICATION >_<ExtProcess>

Example:

D2WD_MES_AzurePublisher

D2000_MES_AzurePublisher

Notes:

<APPLICATION>         - capital letters, or upper and lower case

<Process>                   - ideally the same as it is in the D2000 application (SYSPROF, TaskManager, etc.)

<SUFFIX>                    - capital letters (KOM, ARC, EVH, DBM)

<ExtProcess>              - a reasonable name of the external process
