Relay Worker

The relay worker is a custom built component created by Winshuttle and is part of Evolve. It handles the request sent to the relay service and acts as a proxy for the internally hosted Evolve instance.

In Evolve, you can enable relay worker and the Hybrid connection manager from the Capabilities section on the Application Servers page. Because relay worker is part of Evolve, it does not require a separate installation.
