The Service setup dialog

To access this dialog:Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the DOCUMENTS Bin folder (default location: C:\Program Files\ReadSoft\DOCUMENTS\Bin) and double-click the RSServiceConfig.exe file.

These settings are available when you use the built-in configuration tool to configure the ReadSoft Production service.

Note: The tool is a beta version and is not working satisfactorily. Follow these manual instructions, instead.

FYI: See comments in that instruction topic!

Use these settings to configure the ReadSoft Production service:

Service options	Opens the Service options dialog.
Service items	The service items (collections of settings) in your existing service configuration. All of the other settings apply to the selected item.
Add	Adds a service item (a collection of service settings) to your existing service configuration.
Delete	Deletes the selected service item from your service configuration.
Solution	The solution that the selected service item is set up to process.
Repetitions	How many times to repeat the selected service item (collection of settings) before restarting. If this setting is empty, it means to repeat forever.
Parallel threads	How many parallel instances of the Production module to run.
Tasks	The production tasks that the service item is set up to run.
Max. batches	How many batches to process. This is left empty, the process continues until there are no more batches.
	Adds a new task to the current service item. After adding a production task, use the dropdown list to adjust which one it is. Note: Only production tasks that contain only automatic activities can be set up to run as a Windows service. (Production tasks that include manual activities cannot run in a Windows service.) Therefore, only those production tasks are available to choose from.
	Deletes the selected task.
	Moves the selected task up in the list.
	Moves the selected task down in the list.
Save	Saves the configuration to your RSProductionService.exe.config.behaviour file. (Where can I find this file?) This file is usually found here: C:\Program Files\ReadSoft\DOCUMENTS\Bin If there are several Bin folders, or you are having trouble finding the file, Windows Registry can tell you where it is located: Click Start and then Run. Type Regedit and click OK. Locate the ImagePath attribute in the My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\ReadSoft Production folder: In the Data column you can see the path to the behavior file.
