Configure Windows services

A service runs a database server or other application with a set of options.

In addition to the options, services accept other parameters that specify the account under which the service runs and the conditions under which it starts.

 Change the parameters for a service (Sybase Central)
  1. In the left pane, click SQL Anywhere 12.

  2. In the right pane, select the service you want to change.

  3. Click File » Properties.

  4. Alter the parameters as needed on the tabs of the Service Properties window.

  5. Click OK when finished.

Changes to a service configuration take effect the next time someone starts the service. The Startup option is applied the next time Windows is started.
