Changing the RSC Service Startup Mode
Changing the RSC Service Startup Mode
If you install RSC/MP to run as a service, the installation program sets the RSC
Service and Piccolo Service startup modes to Automatic in order to have Piccolo
Service and RSC Service start automatically at system boot time.
If the RSC Service or Piccolo Service is installed, the result of attempting to access
RSC/MP or Piccolo will rely on the state of the service at the time of the attempted
access, as described in the table below.
Piccolo Service RSC Service
Automatic The Piccolo Service is started at
boot time and is available for use
without any user action.
The RSC Service is started at
boot time and is available for
use without any user action.
Manual You manually start the Piccolo
Service using one of the
following:
1. Run PIPECP START from a
command line.
or
2. Start the RSC Service (which
starts the Piccolo Service as well
as the RSC Service).
or
3. Start the Piccolo Service from
the Control Panel.
You manually start the RSC
Service by:
1. Using the Control Panel to
start the RSC Service (which
will also start the Piccolo
Service).
NOTE: If the service is not
started when an RSC/MP
application is run, and
RSCPIPE is included in the
path, the RSC/MP API will work
but will not run the RSC
Service.
This method is not
recommended.
Piccolo Service RSC Service
Disabled Not recommended. This setting
prevents the Piccolo Service from
running under any conditions,
which will prevent an application
that relies on Piccolo from
running. If you installed Piccolo
as a service and no longer wish
to use it as a service you should
remove the Piccolo Service,
described in Removing the RSC
and Piccolo Services on
page 4-12.
