Services¶

PLOSSYS Distribution Engine uses Digital Process Factory (DPF) services to connect distribution channels to external systems. Infrastructure services forward and store log data. Below you find both lists in alphabetical order with a short description of what each service does.

Each service has its own configuration file. You can find the configuration files here:

Windows: C:\ProgramData\SEAL Systems\config
Linux: /opt/seal/etc

Each service has its own log file. You can find the log files here:

Windows: C:\ProgramData\SEAL Systems\log
Linux: /var/log/seal

For the list of ports used by the Distribution Engine services, refer to Ports.
