OPC/DDE server Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Can DS Data be run as a service, or work with a client that is a service? |
| Answer | DS Data is not a service application. If the OPC client talking to DS Data is a service, it probably won't talk (will get errors). A WinNT service typically runs regardless of the login. And a WinNT service typically has two separate components, a user interface and a runtime. DS Data has its GUI and runtime unified in a single application. Changing this would be a huge (read prohibitively expensive) undertaking. We've tried a few of the "run any executable as an NT service" programs with little success. The unified interface kills it. |
