Understanding Network Services

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne uses the Network service on the enterprise server. This service is installed during the installation process using the jdesnet -i service from the system\bin32 directory.

When you install this service, the system adds these entries to the Windows registry:

  • The name of the service that appears on the Services form (used when controlling the services).

  • The location of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne executable files.

During a new installation, or after you have renamed or moved the directory tree for an existing installation, you should reinstall the services.

After the initial installation, you will need to reinstall the Network service only when it has been uninstalled. You will need to uninstall this service only when the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne directory tree is renamed, moved, or deleted. The process to uninstall this service removes these entries from the Windows registry:

  • The names that appear for the service on the Services form.

  • The location of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne executable files.

After the Network service is installed, you must set up the service under a network account, if you are using a network printer, or a local account, if you are using a local printer. If you are using a network account, it must be in either the Administrators or Power Users group.

Note: We strongly recommend that you use a user who belongs to the local Administrators group.

After you have installed and set up the Network service, you must start the service before JD Edwards EnterpriseOne can use it. Later, if you need to stop services, you must do so in the proper order.

After JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is shut down, you can determine whether any processes completed abnormally. If so, you need to clean up the enterprise server. Unforeseen circumstances can cause JD Edwards EnterpriseOne processes to terminate abnormally. Processes that terminate abnormally are called runaway processes. After shutting down JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, look for any runaway processes and, if any exist, manually terminate them.
