Run VDV as Service

It is possible to run both db.robot.c and db.web.browser as a Service.  It means that after you log off from Windows both these applications will run normally.  db.robot.c will import data into database, monitor data for alarms, validate and generate automatic reports.  db.web.browser will allow for publishing of graphs and reports to web based users.

To change configuration in these applications you need to run their Front End.  An example would be to Add or Edit Site in db.robot.c or create Real Time Display and User Access in db.web.browser.

Note: Users of Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 Operating Systems:   Running db.robot.c as a Service has one drawback; Microsoft Word Reports cannot be created automatically. This is because of a Windows Security issue which does not allow a Service to communicate with MS Word.  Therefore all Microsoft Word Reports must be issued manually via the db.robot.c interface.
There is no problem with creating automatic Text Report when running db.robot.c as Service on these operating systems.
