8.4.6 Managing service startup (Windows only)

JP1/Base provides startup control for services.

In Windows, the functions of JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/Base are registered as Windows services at installation. By using the Windows service control manager, you can set services to start automatically when the OS starts. However, you cannot set services to start in a particular order (for example, JP1/Base before JP1/IM - Manager) because Windows does not monitor service dependencies. In some cases, a product that issues JP1 events might start before JP1/Base starts. Because JP1/Base is inactive, such JP1 events cannot be managed. To avoid such situations, use the startup control provided by JP1/Base in Windows systems.

For details about JP1/Base startup control, see the chapter on setting the service start and stop sequences (for Windows only) in the JP1/Base User's Guide.

In UNIX-based operating systems, you can use an OS function to control the sequence in which services such as JP1/Base and JP1/IM - Manager start and stop, by registering the services in scripts.
