Managing Backend Services
The AgileApps Cloud platform has several backend services. Each of them can be run on a different server, to improve performance and scalability. They can be disabled, as well, if they are not used.
Important:
All backend services are enabled by default. But...- Backend services should not be enabled on a customer-facing web server.
- A backend service should not be enabled on more than one server.
Immediately after installing a server, then, it is necessary to disable all backend services, except for those services that are intended to run on the current server--and then only if the current server is intended to be a backend server.
About the Backend Services
An Application Server instance can run one or more of the following services. Enabling and disabling them determines which instance they run in--or whether they are available at all.

Configuring the Backend Services
Backend services are configured in the network.properties file. It looks like this:
After changing network.properties, restart the server.
