The server application itself is a Windows application that can be installed (i.e. registered) either as a “Windows Service” or as a “Windows COM Server”. If the NETx BMS Core Server is running as a Windows Service (which is the default setting after installation), the NETx BMS Core Server is automatically started during Windows start up. Therefore, no user has to log on to the system. If it is registered as a “Windows COM Server”, it is not started automatically. In this case, the server is only started when a client or the NETx BMS Core Studio itself connects to it. Switching between these two kinds of execution modes can be done at anytime after installation. To change the execution mode, two Windows batch files are provided. These batch files are located within the installation path of the NETx BMS Core Server and have to be executed with administrator rights.

To register the NETx BMS Core Server as a Windows COM Server, the following command has to be executed: 

Reg_Server.bat

To register it as a Windows Service again, the following batch file has to be invoked:

Reg_Service.bat

If the NETx BMS Core Server is installed as a Windows service, it is listed within the service list that is available within the Windows Control Panel as:
