title	Checking your MYOB OnTheGo API service

There are a few things you can do to check your MYOB OnTheGo API Service:

UI Expand

title	How do I check that the MYOB OnTheGo service is running?

On your server / computer where your MYOB application is installed:

title	How do I restart the MYOB OnTheGo service?

On your server / computer where your MYOB application is installed:

Go to your Windows Start menu > Services.
Locate MYOB OnTheGo API Service.
If the MYOB OnTheGo API Service is stopped, start it by right-clicking on the service and selecting Start.

Other things to note:

The Startup Type should be set to Automatic (deferred). This will avoid problems with the service not being started in the future.
If the service is simply started, this will correct the current issue but may mean that the MYOB OnTheGo API Service isn't started after the next server restart.
If the MYOB OnTheGoAPI Service remains in the starting state, wait for 5 minutes for it to finish starting. If a message appears saying that a service is taking too long to start, click OK and continue to wait for 5 minutes.
If the service takes 5 minutes to start, then there are probably internet access issues. See your system administrator for advice.
If the service doesn't start, force it to stop and then start it again.

3. Once the service is installed, run "CloudBurst.Premise.ConsoleHost.exe start".
