Create the Marketing Service Farms

Note: This activity is only required when using the Marketing Service Orchestrator. The Marketing Service On-demand Orchestrator available from MineMarket 5.6 automatically creates the Marketing Service Farms.

Use this activity to create the Marketing Service Farms. Each Marketing Service Farm is a Windows Service.

Multiple Marketing Service Farms can be on a single server, all using a single BulkTrak.MarketingService.exe file.

The total number of Marketing Service Farms must equal the value entered in /M= for the Marketing Service Orchestrator.
