Creating a Service for the Simulated SCADA Server Configuration

The Windows service for the simulated SCADA server configuration has not been created yet. The Services tab in the Central panel only shows one service cfg listed for the configuration alias.

To create a Windows service for the SCADA server simulator configuration:

  1. Select Create Service for Alias from the File menu.
  2. Type a name in the Service Name field. This name is used to register the service.

Note: Windows service names cannot include spaces.

  1. In the Display Name field, enter a display name for the service, which can contain spaces.
  2. Select the startup behavior the service should have in the Startup Type field. Let’s select Manual since this is just an example tutorial.
  3. Add a description of the service in the Description field. This description will appear in the Services tab of the Configuration Manager and the Windows Services Manager tool.
  4. Click OK.
