Services on Windows Servers

PCC offers a convenient way to work with Pervasive PSQL servers on Windows machines without having to use the Windows Services control panel. You can start, stop, and set the startup policy from within PCC.

You must stop the relational and transactional services to completely stop Pervasive PSQL. Stopping just one of the services does not stop the database engine completely.

This section applies only to Windows platforms, not to Linux.

Note
Pervasive PSQL products other than the database engine also run as services. The services of these other products can have a dependency on the database engine services. See Services Dependencies for further information.

To start or stop services

In Pervasive PSQL Explorer, expand the Services node in the tree (click the icon to the left of the node).

Right-click on the service that you want to stop or start.

Perform one of the following actions:

Click Start Service to start the service

Click Stop Service to stop the service

Click Restart Service to stop then start the service.

Tip
You can also stop or restart all services with a single command. Right-click the Services node in the tree, then click Stop All Services or Restart All Services.

To set services startup policy

In Pervasive PSQL Explorer, expand the Services node in the tree (click the icon to the left of the node).

Right-click on the service for which you want to set a startup policy.

Click Properties.

Click the desired policy:


Startup Policy	Meaning
Manual	You must manually start the service after the operating system starts.
Automatic	The service automatically starts when the operating system starts.
Disabled	The service is removed from operation and is not affected by starting the operating system.

Click OK (or Apply then OK).
