You can run the Server Manager as a service or daemon or start the Server Manager executable manually each time you want to run it.
The Server Manager must be running before you can connect to it in the Data Replication Console to perform data replication tasks.
Usually, the Server Manager runs as a service on Windows or as a daemon on Linux or UNIX. On Windows, running the Server Manager as a service ensures that the server is always running. You can also configure the Server Manager to start automatically after a system reboot. On Linux or UNIX, running the Server Manager as a daemon separates the Server Manager process from the terminal so that the process remains on the system even after the terminal is disconnected.
