Starting and Exiting the Service Monitor

If the MES Middleware component was installed on the node, the MES Service Monitor is installed and its icon (shown below) is added to the system tray.

The Service Monitor allows users to start, stop, and restart the MES middleware host. If the Work Tasks Connector for MES has also been installed on the node, its service can also be started and stopped from the MES Service monitor. See Starting, Stopping, and Restarting the MES Middleware Host.

To exit the Service Monitor and remove it from the system tray

• Right-click the Service Monitor icon and click Exit.

  Note that exiting the Service Monitor does not affect the state of the MES middleware host.

To start the Service Monitor and add it to the system tray

• From the Start menu, open the Service Monitor app.
