Start and stop OL Connect Workflow Service

As with most Windows services, OL Connect Workflow can be started and stopped automatically when a Windows session is opened and closed. The other option is to start, stop or pause OL Connect Workflow manually using the OL Connect Workflow Configuration program.

Note: The current OL Connect Workflow status is always displayed in the lower-right corner of the OL Connect Workflow Configuration program window.

Click Tools in the OL Connect Workflow Ribbon.
Then, in the Services Status group:

  • Click Start Service to start the service. A progress bar is displayed while your OL Connect Workflow is being started.
  • Click Stop Service to stop the service.
    When you stop or pause OL Connect Workflow, it immediately stops bringing new files into its processes, but it keeps on performing tasks until all the files which are currently under process have been completely processed.
  • Click Pause to pause the service. The OL Connect Workflow service temporarily stops performing jobs.

    Note: If you send a new configuration when OL Connect Workflow is paused, it will continue using the old configuration when you resume processing until you stop and restart it. See also: Saving and sending a Workflow Configuration.

  • Click Resume to resume the service after pausing it. The OL Connect Workflow Tool service starts performing jobs again.
