The Load Manager can be installed as a Windows service.

Instructions for installing the SAS Service Configuration Utility are located in the SAS 9.1 user installation guide for Microsoft Windows.

From the Start menu, select Programs [arrow] SAS (or your SAS 9.1 program group) [arrow] IntrNet [arrow] Load Manager [arrow] Install as Windows Service. This step does not start the Load Manager. After the Load Manager has been installed as a Windows service, each time the system reboots the Load Manager is started automatically.

A Windows service can also be uninstalled from the Uninstall Windows Service menu selection. This only uninstalls the Windows service. The Load Manager Start menu shortcut remains, and the Load Manager can still be run interactively.

Selecting the Services icon in the Windows Control Panel opens a window that lists the current status of all Windows services. The Load Manager service display name is SAS IntrNet Load Manager.
