Configuring a Comm. Bridge as a Windows System Service

A Comm. Bridge can be registered to execute as a Windows system service under control of the Windows Control Panel Services dialog. Registering as a Windows system service requires several configuration parameters that must be contained within the Comm. Bridge initialization file (IEFCBN.INI by default). These parameters can be set using the Comm. Bridge GUI interface or a text editor provided the required format is adhered to.

Registration and removal of a specific Comm. Bridge service instance is accomplished using either the Comm. Bridge GUI interface or command line options. The command line option instserv is used to register a service, while the remserv option removes a service.
