Start and Stop Run-time Applications

Run-time applications run as Windows services. You can start and stop individual or multiple applications.

To start all run-time applications

   Note: The list of applications appears vary, depending on what you have configured in the Environment Editor dialog box.

   

   If you are using Foxboro DCS, the default Runtime Application Display dialog box looks slightly different because it has an entry for SysTagMngr.

   

   Note: The run-time applications are Windows services. You can stop and start the applications using the Services Control Panel in Windows. However, the Environment Display may not detect these changes, so it is highly recommended to let the AVEVA Batch Management Environment Management system control the services.

2. Click Start All.

   All the run-time applications start in the same order in which they are listed.

   When an application starts, a message indicating the application status is shown in the Status column of the dialog box. As each application starts, its Status changes from Stopped to Starting, and then finally, to Running.
