How services are run by using the manager and other components

Components must work together to complete a service request successfully.

Figure 1. Components running a service
Diagram of components running a service, described in the following text
The diagram shows how components work together to run a service:
  1. A user accesses the manager by using a browser.
  2. The manager verifies the user credentials and connects the user to the latest Optim directory that the user accessed or to the default Optim directory.
  3. The user accesses service management in the manager to view a list of services.
  4. The manager connects to the Optim directory and retrieves the list of services.
  5. The user selects a service to run from the list of services in service management.
  6. The manager forwards the service request to the server to which the service is assigned.
  7. The server processes the service request. Depending on the type of service, the server might request and receive additional service information from the Optim directory, access data from a data source, read and change files that are stored on the server computer, and write data to a data source.
  8. The manager reads the service status from the server computer and updates the Optim directory.
  9. A user accesses the manager to determine whether a service completed successfully.
  10. The manager reads the service status from the Optim directory and displays the service status to the user.
