Registering a Service Type

To use a Service, you must first register a Service Type from the GridServer Administration Tool.

To register a Service Type:

1. Go to Services > Services > Service Types.
2. A list of existing Service Types appears on that page, along with a line for adding a new Service Type.
3. Enter the Service Type Name on the blank line.
4. Select the Service Implementation, then click Add.
5. A window with several options appears after clicking the Add button.
For Java Service Types, enter the fully qualified class name for the Service.
For .NET Service Types, enter the class, assembly, and domain name for the Service.
For R Service Types, enter the function interface for the Service.
For dynamic libraries, enter the library name for the Service.
For commands, enter the command line for the Service.

The window also allows you to enter options for the Service Type.

Note: After you register a Service Type, you must deploy the implementation to your Engines. If you submit tasks without deploying a Service implementation, the Driver submits the tasks with no error, but no Engines take tasks.
