Understanding Running Multiple Instances of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server

Common reasons for running multiple instances of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne enterprise server are to test a new service pack or to upgrade to a new version of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. You can run multiple instances of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server on the same machine by following a few simple guidelines.

Note: These steps do not create a new database or any new database tables. Therefore, you will be using the same data tables that are used by the original instance of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne that was installed. If you want to create a completely separate set of database tables, follow the instructions for setting up a new environment.

After you make all of the changes described in this chapter, you can start and stop the new JD Edwards EnterpriseOne instance independently of the original instance.

All existing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne environments will be valid for the new instance, provided that you have copied the corresponding path code directory for a given environment. All current logical data sources and OCM mappings will be recognized by the new instance.

Server Manager fully supports multiple foundations. This includes the installation and management of multiple instances of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne on a single server.
