Output Manager services

The Output Manager services provide functionality, interfaces, and data access for an Output Manager system.

Output Manager is based on the Microsoft .NET Framework. Microsoft Windows services are the backbone of the system. They can be hosted on physical or virtual machines running Microsoft Windows operating systems. For large implementations of Output Manager, it is a best practice to install the services on machines running server operating systems. Within the Output Manager documentation, any machine that has at least one Output Manager service installed is called an Output Manager server.

Output Manager server runs the services described in the following table:
