Inherits from: Service Instance

Properties

The following 8 properties are defined.

Property Name	Description
General
Thread Pool	Type: Thread Pool This service will process any Unattended Activity tasks that have been assigned to the specified Thread Pool.
Task Processing Settings
Number of Threads	Type: Int32, Default: 1, Range: 1 - 32 The number of threads to run. Parallel processing for unattended tasks can be achieved by installing multiple instances of the services, or by installing a single service instance, and running multiple threads. Threads running within the same service instance share a memory pool, so it is best to limit each service instance to 4-8 threads.
Service Settings
Repository	Type: Repository Connection The repository to which this service instance is bound. Service instances are bound permanently to a Grooper repository. To change to repository, delete the service instance and reinstall it using the desired repository.
Service Name	Type: String The name for the service.
Service Display Name	Type: String The display name for the service.
Thread Priority	Type: ThreadPriority, Default: Normal The priority level with which threads will be created. Can be one of the following values: Lowest - The can be scheduled after threads with any other priority. BelowNormal - The can be scheduled after threads with Normal priority and before those with Lowest priority. Normal - The can be scheduled after threads with AboveNormal priority and before those with BelowNormal priority. Threads have Normal priority by default. AboveNormal - The can be scheduled after threads with Highest priority and before those with Normal priority. Highest - The can be scheduled before threads with any other priority. If the service is running on a workstation, a priority lower than normal will help prevent the service from impacting the user interface responsiveness.
User Name	Type: String The user account under which the service should run. The account specified must: Have the Logon as Service permission on the machine on which the service is to run. Have access to the Grooper database, if Windows security is being used for SQL connections. Have access to the Grooper file store location.
