The Inventory Service Manager loads the inventory components on the Inventory server, based on the configuration parameters specified in the Inventory server properties file.
This sections contains the following:
The Service Manager loads the following important services. You can obtain the list of services that the Service Manager loads from the property file in inventory_server_installation_directory_or_volume\zenworks\inv\ server\wminv\properties.
You can use these service names to list, start, and stop the respective services.
The Inventory Service Manager reads the server property file (config.properties) and the role-based property file in the inventory_server_installation_directory_or_volume\zenworks\inv\ server\wminv\properties directory, and loads the required services and server components.
IMPORTANT:Do not modify the property files because the updates might fail to load the services or the Service Manager.
