Configure Application Daemons

The QAD Financials module requires that several daemons be configured and running. Daemons are server-based processes that run background tasks. They can run on the same application server as the QAD Financials, or you can specify a different AppServer for each daemon.

Some daemon processes must be running to ensure the integrity of the application; others are optional depending on which parts of the application you are using. Ensure that the required processes are configured to start when the database starts. If necessary, you can start multiple instances of a daemon.
