Service groups overview

You can assign each service on your system to be a member of a service group. By default, each service belongs to a group, as listed in the following table.

Service Default group
Network server SQLANYServer
Personal server SQLANYEngine
MobiLink synchronization client SQLANYMLSync
SQL Remote Message Agent SQLANYRemote
MobiLink server SQLANYMobiLink
SQL Anywhere Broadcast Repeater utility SQLANYNS
MobiLink Listener SQLANYLSN
SQL Anywhere Volume Shadow Copy Service SQLANYVSS
MobiLink Relay Server SQLANYRSHOST
MobiLink Relay Server Outbound Enabler SQLANYRSOE
MobiLink Agent SQLANYMLAGENT

Before you can configure your services to ensure that they start in the correct order, you must check that your service is a member of an appropriate group. You can check which group a service belongs to, and change this group, from Sybase Central.
