Beginning with version 2.3.2288 of the .NET Remoting Service, you can run multiple instances of the service on the same server. However, you must install different version numbers separately.

This is particularly important if you meet all of the following criteria: 

• You run multiple CyberStore sites that connect to the same SYSPRO server. 
• You run a CyberStore version less than 2.3 on one instance. 
• You run a CyberStore version 2.3 or greater on another instance.

Example of a user who meets this criteria: the user runs a production Site of 2.2.2033 and has a separate staging Site. They would now like to install and test 2.3 or greater before rolling up the production instance.

Installation Differences When Installing Multiple Instances

To install multiple instances, simply follow the installation instructions in the previous section, Installation Process.

You need to slightly modify those instructions:

• Skip modifying permissions on both the SYSPRO install directory and the MicroFocus registry keys. 
• Create a separate peer installation directory on the SYSPRO server. Incorporate the Remoting Service version number in the name (e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\Dovetail\Remoting Service_v2.3.2288\). 
• Ensure permissions are properly applied to this new directory. 
• Update the .config file with the fully qualified drive path to the log file. 
• Update the .config file with a TCP/IP port different from that of the other running service. 
• Ensure that the corresponding instance of CyberStore also points to this TCP port.

You can differentiate the services in the Windows Services administrator by their names. Each name contains the services version when the services use version 2.3.2288 or greater.
