A built-in utility to keep the FW Engine Services running.

Last published at: September 12th, 2025

A built-in utility is available with FlowWright v10.6.11 release onwards, which keeps the application services running in the Automatic mode available all the time. 

The FlowWright application has eight services running on the server, with the Process and Email Engine primarily configured in Automatic mode. There could be a possibility that these services may be stopped by chance. Using the built-in utility, the application's essential services are restarted when the utility is configured as a Windows Task activity.    

 

How to install and configure the utility?

The utility is located in this folder path: “C:\FlowWright\EngineServicesMonitor”

 

Navigate to the Windows elevated command prompt. To open an elevated Command Prompt in Windows, type "cmd" in the Start menu search bar, then right-click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator". 

 

Navigate to the folder path and use the syntax “FWEngineServicesMonitor -help” to view the options for installation and management. 

 

The options to install, uninstall, shut down, and help are displayed, as shown below. 

 

Use the syntax “FWEngineServicesMonitor -install” for installation. 

 

The utility tool is installed in the folder path: “C:\FlowWright\EngineServicesMonitor”. Use the syntax “FWEngineServicesMonitor” at the command prompt to view the application service status. 

 

The FlowWright application service statuses are listed, as shown below. Note: Only the service statuses running in Automatic mode are listed.  

 

Use the Windows Task Scheduler to create a task for this utility. 

 

Configure the task to run daily, repeating every 1 hour indefinitely, as shown below. Start the Task after the configuration is complete. 

 

Let's suppose the application service running in Automatic mode is stopped manually. The FWEngineServicesMonitor utility tool shall restart the service as scheduled.
