Running Message Broker on Microsoft Windows

On Microsoft Windows platforms, the Message Broker is installed as a Microsoft Windows service. When this service is installed, the installer asks whether you wish to create an automatic or a manual service.

• If you choose automatic, the corresponding service will be started by Microsoft Windows each time the system is initialized.
• If you choose manual, you must manually start the service each time the system is initialized.

Both automatic and manual services are automatically stopped when the system is shutdown. Both automatic and manual services can be manually started and stopped as needed. The procedures for starting and stopping the Message Broker are provided in the following topics.
