Overview

The Aras Innovator Service is a Windows executable program that runs as a Windows Service (see screen shot). Use it to automatically run Innovator Methods on a periodic schedule, as specified in the InnovatorServiceConfig.xml file.

You can configure a single running instance of the Aras Innovator Service to periodically connect to any number of Aras Innovator Servers, and for each Aras Innovator Server, run any number of Methods. Use the standard Windows Event Viewer for logging program status and error messages.

Examples of when to use the Aras Innovator Service are:

1) Running a Method that creates and sends Workflow reminder emails.

2) Running a Method nightly that creates a report and mails it to a set of users.
