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.

If the daemon is to be installed on a network behind a firewall or DMZ it may be necessary to conduct additional post configuration, when using RPC refer to Firewall Configuration.

The AVEVA Support website contains important information about the IT Configuration required for Global when using RPC as the network protocol.

Note:
On the AVEVA Support website the section titled "Group Policy for RPC" is not required for Global WCF.

On the AVEVA Support website, in the section "Internet Connection Firewall" the user must add admindWCF.exe to the list of Program Exceptions if the WCF protocol is used. In addition the user must add the TCP port to the list of Firewall Exceptions, refer to WCF Configuration Files for further information. For a detailed description of the considerations that must be made when configuring the firewall for WCF communications. Refer to Firewall Configuration for further information.
