|
|---|
| 2 | ===========================================
|

|

| 4 | The HeuristicLab Hive Slave runs as a windows service and calculates jobs that it receives from the Hive server.
|
|---|
| 5 | Every Slave sends periodically heartbeats to the server and asks for a new job.
|
|---|
| 6 | If the server has new jobs, the Slave fetches the jobs and calculates them.
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | There are two installers for the Hive Slave:
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | HeuristicLab.Clients.Hive.Slave.WindowsServiceSetup.msi:
|
|---|
| 11 | Installs the Slave windows service. The default installation path is C:\Program Files\HEAL\HeuristicLab Hive Slave.
|
|---|
| 12 | The installed windows services is called HeuristicLab.Clients.Hive.Slave and can be stopped or started from the
|
|---|
| 13 | Windows Services console.
|
|---|
| 14 | There will also be a Event source created which is called "HLHive" and a Log called "HiveSlave" where
|
|---|
| 15 | severe errors are logged. The logs can be viewed with the Windows Event Viewer.
|
|---|
| 16 | The windows service will be started automatically after the installation is completed and will also
|
|---|
| 17 | automatically start after boot.
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | HeuristicLab.Clients.Hive.Slave.TrayIconInstaller.msi:
|
|---|
| 20 | Installs the graphical frontend for the windows service. This program should be installed for all users
|
|---|
| 21 | (checkbox in installation dialog) so that all users can use the application.
|
|---|
| 22 | The Hive Slave TrayIcon is started when a user logs in and sits in the windows taskbar.
|
|---|
| 23 | If opened, it displays information about the current state of the windows service and lets the user
|
|---|
| 24 | pause the slave.
