Using Grid Libraries from a Service

Services can specify a Grid Library to use by setting the GRID_LIBRARY and optionally the GRID_LIBRARY_VERSION Service Options. This is typically set by Service Type in the Services > Services > Service Types page, although it can be set programmatically on the Session. Services can specify a Grid Library to use by setting the corresponding Service Option values. If the version is not set, a Service uses the latest version of a Grid Library.

If a Service needs to find resources in a Grid Library, it can use the Grid Library Path. This value is a path value that includes the root directories of all Grid Libraries currently loaded. For Java, .NET, and C++, the path is EngineProperties.GRID_LIBRARY_DIR; for command services, it is the environment variable ds_GridLibraryPath.
