Starting TDV Processes on Windows
By default, a Windows installation of TDV creates and registers two TDV services that are set to restart automatically whenever the host machine is restarted. For example, after a manual computer restart. Typically, the TDV Server runs on the host server and is ready to accept connections for design or runtime requests.
The server and the server repository service use the following naming convention:
TDV Server <x.y.z>
TDV Repository <x.y.z>
x = major version, y = minor version, and z = service pack number
The TDV Server process runs the TDV Server with the Monitor Daemon option enabled. The Monitor process tracks performance and maintains audit information. Typically, you only run TDV without the Monitor Daemon if you have been prompted to do so by Support.
Note: If you installed TDV on Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition or Windows 7, see the TDV Installation and Upgrade Guide for instructions on preparing Windows.
