Running the Global Daemon

The normal way of running the Global daemon is as a background service.

Two services are provided: one for a single project and one for multiple projects.

Note:
The service normally runs as an administrator, and does not inherit any variables from the user login. This means that all variables required by the service must be set up in the batch file used by the service.

On the AVEVA Support website, in the section Internet Connection Firewall, the user must add admindWCF.exe to the list of Program Exceptions. In addition the user must add the TCP port defined in the WCF configuration files described in the Global WCF Configuration Guide (refer to Windows Communication Foundation Configuration Files for further information) to the list of Firewall Exceptions.

You must also refer to Firewall Configuration for a detailed description of the considerations that must be made when configuring the firewall for WCF communications.

A full installation of the base product is not required, but the following alphabetical list of files must be available on the local machine preferably in the same folder branch:

A
