Hi,

Is it possible to run multiple server instances on 1 machine (on different ports of course). We have some customers that have more than one installation of our software on 1 server. All instances of edbsrv that start now look for the same Session in the same ini file. Could either the ini file or the session within the ini file that is used be dynamically assigned (by a startup param or servicename dependant)?

Kick,

Just rename the edbsrvr.exe to edbsrvr2.exe (or whatever, just something
different), and then the server will then use edbsrvr2.ini as the .ini file.
You can also assign a different server name and description (how the server
identifies itself to client apps) in the .ini file:

(Server Name and Server Description in the Configuration Reference)

That will do! Thanks.

How about when running as a service? I want 2.03Bx on one port and 2.04By on another.

Nice.

Running each one as an application before installing it as a service
allows you to configure the port.  I have both Unicode and ANSI versions
running side-by-side on the same server on different ports.  Works well.

I must be missing something blindingly simple.

ren edbsrvr.exe edbsrvr204.exe
edbsrvr204 -install
