Accessing NewsBrowse services
NewsBrowse software components are distributed among the machines that make up
the NewsBrowse system. These software components run as Windows services. A
NewsBrowse machine has the services that correspond to the NewsBrowse software
components it hosts.
When you change the configuration for a particular software component through the
NewsBrowse configuration pages, you must restart that software component’s
NewsBrowse service to put the changes into effect. Click
Start | Settings | Control
Panel | Administrative Tools | Services to access the services. All NewsBrowse service
names start with “Thomson…”, so they group together in the services list.
