Use Service Dependencies attributes to obtain configuration information about all of the services or load order groups that must start before a given service installed on the Windows Server. Services are background processes run by the operating system, regardless of the user logged in to the system. Service Dependencies is a multiple-instance attribute group. You cannot mix these attributes with those of any other multiple-instance attribute group.
Dependency The name of a service or load order group that must start before the given service can start. If there are no dependencies for the given service, this field is blank. Valid format is a text string of up to 64 characters. For example, +TID indicates the name of a load order group that must start first.
Display Name The name of the service as it is displayed in the Service Control Manager applet. Valid format is a text string of up to 64 characters. For example, Gateway Service indicates the name of the service.
Display Name (Unicode) The name of the service as it is displayed in the NT Service Control Manager applet in UTF8. Valid format is a text string of up to 400 bytes.
Server Name The managed system name. The form should be hostname:agent_code.
Examples include spark:KNT or deux.raleigh.ibm.com:KNT.
In workspace queries, this attribute should be set equal to the value $NODE$ in order to populate the workspace with data. This attribute is generally not included in situations, unless there is a need to customize the situation for a specific managed system.
Service Name The internal name of the service in the Service Control Manager database. Valid format is a text string of up to 64 characters. For example, NWCWorkstation is an example of a service name.
