Table 5-1 lists the steps for working with services.
How To Turn On and Turn Off Feature Services
You can turn on (activate) or turn off (deactivate) multiple feature services or select default services to turn on from the Service Activation window in Cisco Unified Serviceability. Cisco Unified Serviceability turns on feature services in automatic mode and checks for service dependencies based on a single-node configuration. When you select to turn on a feature service, Cisco Unified Serviceability prompts you to select all the other services, if any, that depend on that service to run based on a single-node configuration. When you select the Set Default button, Cisco Unified Serviceability selects those services that are required to run Cisco Unified Presence based on a single-node configuration. Turning on a service automatically starts the service. You start and stop services from Control Center.

Recommendations for Turning On Services in a Cluster
Caution Before you turn on any services for a feature, you must complete all the required configuration on Cisco Unified Presence for that feature. See the relevant documentation for each Cisco Unified Presence feature.
Before you turn on services in a cluster, review the table below, which provides service recommendations for multi-node configurations.

Database and Admin Services
|
Cisco AXL Web Service
|
•Turn on this service on the first node only.
•Failing to turn on this service causes the inability to update Cisco Unified Presence from client-based applications that use AXL.
|
Cisco Bulk Provisioning Service
|
•You turn on the Cisco Bulk Provisioning Service only on the first node.
•If you use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) to administer phones and users, you must turn on this service.
|
Performance and Monitoring Services
|
Cisco Serviceability Reporter
|
•Turn on this service on the publisher node only.
Note The service only generates reports on the publisher node even if you turn on the service on other nodes.
|
Cisco Unified Presence Services
|
Cisco UP SIP Proxy
|
Turn on this service on all nodes in the cluster.
|
Cisco UP Presence Engine
|
Turn on this service on all nodes in the cluster.
|
Cisco UP Sync Agent
|
Turn on this service on all nodes in the cluster.
|
Cisco UP XCP Text Conference Manager
|
•Turn on this service if you deploy the Chat feature on Cisco Unified Presence.
•Turn on this service on each node that runs the Chat feature.
Note The permanent chat feature requires an external database. If you enable the permanent chat feature, you must also configure an external database before starting the Text Conference Manager service. The Text Conference Manager service will not start if the permanent chat feature is enabled and an external database is not configured. See the Database Setup Guide for Cisco Unified Presence.

Cisco UP XCP Web Connection Manager
|
•Turn on this service if you integrate web clients with Cisco Unified Presence.
•Turn on this service on all nodes in the cluster.
|
Cisco UP XCP Connection Manager
|
•Turn on this service if you integrate XMPP clients with Cisco Unified Presence.
•Turn on this service on all nodes in the cluster.
|
Cisco UP XCP SIP Federation Connection Manager
|
•Turn on this service if you deploy any of the following configurations:
–Interdomain federation over the SIP protocol on Cisco Unified Presence. Turn on this service on each node that runs SIP federation.
–Intercluster deployment between a Cisco Unified Presence release 8.0 cluster and a Cisco Unified Presence release 7.x cluster. Turn on this service on all nodes in the Release 8.0 cluster.
|
Cisco UP XCP XMPP Federation Connection Manager
|
•Turn on this service only if you deploy interdomain federation over the XMPP protocol on Cisco Unified Presence.
•Turn on this service on each node that runs XMPP federation.
Note Before you turn on the XMPP Federation Connection Manager service on a node, you must turn on XMPP Federation in Cisco Unified Presence Administration on that node. See the Integration Guide for Configuring Cisco Unified Presence for Interdomain Federation.
|
Cisco UP XCP Message Archiver
|
•Turn on this service if you deploy the Compliance feature on Cisco Unified Presence.
•Turn on this service on any node that runs the IM Compliance feature.
Note If you turn on the Message Archiver before you configure an external database, the service will not start. Also, if the external database is not reachable, the service will not start. See the Database Setup Guide for Cisco Unified Presence.
|
Cisco UP XCP Directory Service
|
•Turn on this service if you integrate XMPP clients on Cisco Unified Presence with an LDAP directory.
•Turn on this service on all nodes in the cluster.
Note If you turn on the Directory Service before you configure the LDAP contact search settings for third-party XMPP clients, the service will start, and then stop again. See the Deployment Guide for Cisco Unified Presence.
|
Cisco UP XCP Authentication Service
|
•Turn on this service if you integrate XMPP clients with Cisco Unified Presence.
•Turn on this service on all nodes in the cluster.

Service Activation Recommendations
Turning On and Turning Off Feature Services
You can turn on and turn off feature services in Cisco Unified Presence Serviceability. Some feature services depend on other services, and you always turn on the non-dependent services first.
Note Cisco Unified Serviceability allows you to turn on and turn off only features services (not network services).
Before You Begin
The service names for the server that you select and the status of the services are displayed in the Service Activation window. Services do not start until you turn them on.
Procedure
Step 1 Select Tools > Service Activation.
Step 2 Select the server from the Server list box.
Step 3 Select Go.
Step 4 Perform one of the following actions to turn on or turn off services:
If you want to:
|
Action
|
Turn on the default services required to run on a single server
|
Select Set to Default.
Note This option selects default services based on the configuration of a single server, and checks for service dependencies.
|
Turn on all services
|
Check Check All Services.
|
Turn on a specific service
|
Check the service that you want to turn on.
|
Turn off a service
|
Uncheck the services that you want to turn off.
|
Step 5 Select Save after you finish making the appropriate changes.
