Setting up Task services - LSM 3.5 SP3 Business + Prof.

The task service is responsible for task and event managers:

Task and event managers only operate while the service configured here is active.

  1. Required service (e.g. VNHost/CommNode server) is installed (see VN host/CommNode).
  2. Communication node has been created (see Creating communication nodes).
  1. Use Network to select the Task manager input.
  3. The Task manager window will open.
  5. Select your communication node from the Task service section.
  7. Click on the Apply button.
  8. Click on the Exit button.
  9. Your LSM will notify you that you have changed the communication node responsible for the task/event manager.
  11. In this case, LSM cannot automatically transfer the modified config files to the communication nodes/services concerned.
    Both the previous communication node and the new communication node are affected.
  12. Use Network to select the Communication nodes input.
  14. LSM switches to the communication node screen.
  16. Use the and arrow keys to select the communication node that was previously responsible for the task service.
    If no communication node was responsible before, switch to the new communication node.

  19. NOTE

    notice

    Transmission with active services can cause collision

    In most cases, you can also transfer the config files without terminating the corresponding services beforehand. However, it may also be the case that the service is working with the config files at the moment when you are modifying them. This can cause malfunctions.

    1. For this reason, it is important to terminate the service concerned before transferring config files.

  23. Select the Exit option.

    CommNode server: %ProgramFiles(x86)%\SimonsVoss\\CommNodeSvr_3_x
    VNHost server: %ProgramFiles(x86)%\SimonsVoss\VNHostSvr
    If the two services are on the same computer as the client, do not save to a node-specific path.
  28. Open the context menu again and restart the service.
  30. Service restarts.
