Assigning activities to the Activities Service
The XBOUND Activities Service executes the activities that you assign to it.
To obtain efficient load sharing and optimal license utilization, you can set up Activities services to run on one or several computers. You can assign one or several activities to each computer (or service instance, to be more precise) for the documents to be processed on the computer.
Even if you use the Activities Service on only one computer, you must assign activities. The activities that you assign here can then be used in process steps when processing documents.
Note: Only automatic activities need to be assigned to the service. The following manual activities do not need to be assigned:
