Every CA Service Desk Manager installation has one primary server that handles basic product functionality.
Important! If your installation includes one or more secondary servers, you must start the secondary servers before starting the primary server.
To start the CA Service Desk Manager primary server in a Windows environment, from the Control Panel, select the CA Service Desk Manager Server service, and click Start. You can start the service manually each time you need it, or you can configure it to start automatically like any other Windows service.
In a UNIX environment, start the CA Service Desk Manager server from the command line using pdm_init.
The following table describes the processes that start automatically when you start the CA Service Desk Manager server:
