NOTE: It is normal to see two images of TopTeam Application Server in Windows Task Manager as long as they show the same User Name in the User Name column.

Name of Supporting Services:

• Email Sender Service – ttmEmlSndrSS.exe
• Email Receiver Service – ttmEmlRcvrSS.exe
• Text Indexing Service – ttmTextIndexingServiceSS.exe

If you are not able to see some of the supporting services, verify that option to automatically start these services on start up of the Application Server, is turned ON on the Management Console.
Changes in these option will need the Application Server to be restarted, for them to take affect.
