The FixBackgroundServer task can run on its own, or as a Windows service. If you configure iFIX to start as a service, the FixBackgroundServer task runs as a service, provided you have added it to the task list.
To start iFIX as a service, shut down iFIX and in the SCU's Local Startup Definition dialog box enable the "Run iFIX as a Service" option. If iFIX is running, this option is unavailable. In the Task Configuration dialog box, add the FixBackgroundServer task to the task list.
Refer to the Configuring Startup Tasks section in the Setting Up the Environment manual for more information on configuring startup tasks.
