Performance Manager Services

Setup automatically installs the Service Manager when any of the four services are installed. You can access the Service Manager either from the Performance Manager program group, or from its Windows task bar tray icon. The Windows services, which are viewable in the Windows Services window, are called <Service name> Server, for example Application Server.
Note: The Service Manager does not work out-of-the box on Windows platforms that use User Account Control (UAC), like for example Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows 7, or Microsoft Windows Server 2008. To enable the Service Manager to work on these platforms, you either need to disable UAC or stop the Service Manager and start it again with the option Run as administrator.

All four services must be running to enable operation of Performance Manager. The services can be distributed over different computers or run on a single machine. For information about installing services, refer to the Performance Manager Installation and Configuration Guide.

Tip: Stopping and restarting services is an administrative task that only needs to be done when a system is not operating as intended, or when maintenance tasks are required.
