System Services Configuration Page

  • Article

IIS Manager displays this page when a user double-clicks the System Services Configuration icon in the Application Server Extensions for .NET 4.0 section of the Features View of the Workspace (middle) pane.

Use the System Services Configuration Page to view and configure Dublin-related system services. With the Dublin Beta1 release, these two system services are the Application Server Event Collector Service (ECS) and the Application Server Workflow Management Service (WMS). From the System Services Configuration Page, you can configure the identity of either service. Additionally, for the ECS you can configure settings specific to performance, such as buffer sizes and wait times.

The Persistence Database Configuration module is available only at the server level of the IIS hierarchy.
