windows service name

Hello , I have created Sql Anywhere as a windows service using dbsvc tool, as below

dbsvc -as -sn myserv -w myserv "c:\Program Files\SQL Anywhere 11\bin32\dbeng11.exe"

Service has been created successfully and I am able to see the service name under windows service list. I further checked the property of service where I found Display name : myserv
Service Name : SQLANYe_myserv
1) Why it is so ? 2)Why SQLANYe prefix has added ? 3)How to make Both Display name and service name same?

Thanks in Advance !

By convention, dbsvc always prefixes it services with SQLANY<c>_ to easily identify the service as a SQL Anywhere service and which type of service - the <c> is 'e' to indicate it is an 'engine' (aka Personal Server). Other letters are:

's' for server (aka Network Server),
'r' for dbremote,
'm' for mobilink,
'z' for dbmlsync,
'l' for dbltm,
'd' for dbns,
'v' for dbvss,
'h' for rshost,
'b' for rsoe,
'g' for mlagent,
'u' for dbcloudagent, and
'o' for odata server.

If you do not want the SQLANY<>_ prefix then you will need to create the service using some other tool - E.g. Microsoft's sc tool.
