Issue/Introduction

Which services does Information Centric Analytics (ICA) create? On which services does ICA have a dependency? When configuring monitoring to receive alerts when the application is unavailable, which services should be monitored?

Environment

Version : 6.x

Resolution

No services are created or installed by the ICA installer or the ICA application. Instead, ICA is dependent on services that are installed by the prerequisite software Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL), and Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS):

• IIS
  • World Wide Web Publishing Service
    • Service Name: W3SVC
    • Path: %SystemDrive%\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k iissvcs
• MSSQL
  • SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)
    • Service Name: MSSQLSERVER
    • Path: "%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe" -sMSSQLSERVER
  • SQL Server Agent
    • Service Name: SQLSERVERAGENT
    • Path: "%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\SQLAGENT.EXE" -i MSSQLSERVER
• SSAS
  • SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)
    • Service Name: MSSQLServerOLAPService
    • Path: "%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS15.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\bin\msmdsrv.exe" -s "%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS15.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\Config"

NOTE: If the RiskFabric relational database or the RiskFabric OLAP cube is installed in a named instance of MSSQL or SSAS, the service names for MSSQL, SSAS, and the SQL Server Agent will specify the instance name instead of MSSQLSERVER (the default instance name).
