Avid Interplay Engine Servers and Services
257
Processes
The process running is usually listed as NxNServer.exe or NXNSer~3.exe.
This process is automatically launched at startup (machine boot) from the Avid Workgroup
Server Browser Service. If, however, it is not running at any time and clients try to access it, it is
automatically launched.
The Interplay Engine always runs under the user specified in the DCOMConfig Settings.
DCOMCNFG is a Windows utility that allows you to configure various DCOM-specific settings
in the registry. To access it, type dccomcnfg at the Command Prompt.
c
Do not change the settings using the DCOM configuration tool. Instead, use
NxNServerUser.exe to change the user under which the Avid Interplay Engine Server and
other servers and services run. See “Troubleshooting the Server Execution User Account”
on page 229.
Windows Services
There is no Windows service associated with this server process.
Requirements
• The Avid Interplay Engine Server must run on a Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server
2008. For additional hardware requirements, see the Avid Interplay Software Installation and
Configuration Guide.
• The user under which the Avid Interplay Engine Server runs (the Server Execution User)
needs to have full read/write access to the database directory and to the Avid shared-storage
workspaces.
Avid Workgroup HTTP Server
The Avid Workgroup HTTP Server is a module for the Apache server which allows clients to
connect to the Avid Interplay Engine Server using a HTTP protocol.
These modules are run by the same instance of Apache as the Avid Workgroup Preview Server
modules.
Connectivity
