6.2.1 Starting OpenTP1 from the Windows Services dialog box

In the Windows Services dialog box, you can start OpenTP1 in the following modes:

This subsection explains these three startup modes.

Reference note
You open the Windows Services dialog box from Control Panel.
Organization of this subsection
(1) Manual start of OpenTP1
(2) Automatic start of OpenTP1
(3) Forced normal start of OpenTP1
(4) Notes

(1) Manual start of OpenTP1

To start OpenTP1 manually:

  1. Open the Windows Services dialog box.
  2. From the displayed list of services, select OpenTP1 (or OpenTP1_XXXX for a multiOpenTP1, where XXXX is a user-specified identifier).
  3. Click the Start button.
    The Service Control dialog box is displayed and OpenTP1 starts.
  4. Click the OK button.

(2) Automatic start of OpenTP1

In this mode, OpenTP1 starts automatically when Windows starts.

To set OpenTP1 to start automatically:

  1. Open the Windows Services dialog box.
  2. In the displayed list of services, double-click OpenTP1 (or OpenTP1_XXXX for a multiOpenTP1, where XXXX is a user-specified identifier).
  3. Change Startup type to Automatic.

(3) Forced normal start of OpenTP1

To start OpenTP1 in the forced normal startup mode:

  1. Open the Windows Services dialog box.
  2. In the displayed list of services, double-click OpenTP1 (or OpenTP1_XXXX for a multiOpenTP1, where XXXX is a user-specified identifier).
  3. In the Start parameters text box, enter normal.
  4. Click the Start button.

(4) Notes

Always start OpenTP1 with the Allow service to interact with desktop check box selected (the Allow service to interact with desktop check box is located on the Log On page in the OpenTP1 Properties dialog box). If this check box is not selected, the system might shut down due to a shortage of desktop heap. To display the OpenTP1 Properties dialog box, in the OpenTP1 in the Windows Services dialog box, right-click the service name of OpenTP1 and then choose Properties.

If you start OpenTP1 in this status, the KFCA26524-W message will be output to the Event Viewer. Even though this message is output, OpenTP1 starts normally. However, we recommend that you terminate OpenTP1, go to the Log On page and select the Allow service to interact with desktop check box, and then restart OpenTP1.

In OpenTP1 Version 6 or later, the console is not displayed by default. To display the console, use the OpenTP1 console output facility. For details about the OpenTP1 console output facility, see 2.2.3 OpenTP1 console output facility.
