Ginesys Cloud deployed instances, of Ginesys Head-Office application, don’t allow users to logon with Administrator level access on the Windows operating system, this is obvious restriction for a managed infrastructure or SaaS offering. Non-admin standard login has limited access on the OS management and application management. One of such several limitations is inability to start or stop of Windows Services. Ginesys has multiple Window Services and there are situations where these services are required to be started / stopped / restarted. In Ginesys Cloud deployments, for explicit privilege given, users are allowed to operate Windows services when required.

Steps for operating Windows Services of Ginesys:

  1. Open ‘Services’, Windows service manager. Go to RUN → Type Services.msc → Enter.

  2. Find the below mentioned services → Right click on any of them and choose Restart or Stop or Start as required.

List of Ginesys Services

  • GINESYS Data Sync Service.

  • GINESYS Licensing Service.

  • GINESYS Planning Service.

  • GINESYS SMS Notification Service.

  • GINESYS SMTP Mail Service.

  • GinesysReportScheduler.

  • World Wide Web Publishing Service (Ginesys Web Service)

The access of operating Windows Services for Databases is not delegated to standard Ginesys user logins. This right is reserved to Ginesys Tech support and Cloud support members.
