Automatic X-Invoice Processor can process e-invoices
even when no user is logged in - as a Windows service.
This is the right operating mode for servers and
round-the-clock operation. In this tutorial, we set up
the service step by step.

00:00:21.449 --> 00:00:47.699
The most important upfront decision is the service
account: use a dedicated Windows user account, for
example AXP-Service - not the Local System account.
Profiles, options, the license, and saved passwords are
tied to the user account. Log in once with this account
and set up everything there: enter the license, create
your profiles, and test the email sending.

00:00:48.699 --> 00:01:26.049
The easiest way is to set the service up right here:
the Set up service button asks for the service name,
user account, and password and then does everything in
one step - including automatic startup and recovery
after a crash. A single administrator confirmation is
all it takes. If you prefer the command prompt, use
these two commands: the first creates the service and
points to the background processor with the service
parameter, the second sets the service account and its
password. You can copy both from the guide below this
video.

00:01:27.049 --> 00:01:42.499
That leaves the operating mode: at the top of this page
we enable the option Background processor is managed
externally. The main window then leaves processing to
the service and no longer starts a processor of its
own.

00:01:43.499 --> 00:02:18.149
You can see whether everything is running right here:
the status light turns green when the service is
running and processing, and below it you find the
service name, status including startup type, account,
and program path. If the startup type is Manual or the
service points to the wrong program, the page tells you
- and the Start or Correct buttons put it right. By the
way, Task Manager shows two processor processes; that
is by design: one supervises, the other processes.

00:02:19.149 --> 00:02:44.149
For unattended operation, we recommend the malfunction
notification: the program then automatically sends you
an email if no processing has taken place for a while.
We enable the option, leave the waiting time at sixty
minutes, and enter a recipient. Independently of the
email, every detected malfunction always appears in the
error log and the Windows Event Viewer.

00:02:45.149 --> 00:03:05.099
That completes the setup: from now on, the service
processes e-invoices around the clock - without anyone
logged in. You only open the main window to maintain
profiles or check the logs. The complete guide with all
commands and solutions to common problems is available
on our website.
