Manage InTouch services

A service is a Windows process that performs a specific unattended background system function without a user interface or a required user logon.

The following startup options are available for Windows services:

• Automatic. When Windows restarts, the service automatically starts without any user intervention.

• Manual. A user or an application process must explicitly start the service.

• Disable. The service is prevented from starting. This is useful for troubleshooting.

  Note: The parameters option in the InTouch WindowViewer service is not supported.

Services are started without compromising the Windows security system.

The InTouch HMI includes the following Windows services:

• Alarm DB Logger

• Alarm DB Purge/Archive

• NetDDE Helper

• SuiteLink

• WindowViewer
