Service	Description
Pegasus Opera Service	The main Opera 3 SQL SE Service - installed with the server installation - provides the conduit to update data consistently and securely because it controls all the data reading from and writing to the Microsoft SQL Server databases. The first activity is to log the users who have run the Opera 3 SQL SE client program. This provides a solid tracking system for the administrators, replacing the use of the old locking mechanism in other editions of Opera 3.
Net.Tcp Port Sharing Services	The Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service allows a net.tcp port to be shared and secured using a defined port number. For Opera 3 SQL SE, this service is used so that the client and server software can communicate with the Opera 3 SQL SE service.
Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC)	This Windows service provides the transaction infrastructure for distributed systems. For Opera 3 SQL SE, DTC makes it possible to transfer transactions between companies when a Server Data Intensive Process is used. If the Pegasus Opera Service and SQL Server databases are distributed over several servers, DTC must be enabled on all the machines (service machine and SQL Servers) and set to allow network access on each server.
