Running Multiple Services

You can set up multiple copies of the executable service program, dm_connector_svc.exe, in the same directory under different names with separate properties file names and they will not interfere with one another. The different copies can run the same or different Java programs, but in this case you would set them to run Documaker Connector. You can use this to set up multiple copies of Documaker Connector running as services for different purposes and with different configurations.

To set up multiple copies, duplicate both the executable service program, dm_connector_svc.exe, and the matching properties file, dm_connector_svc.properties.

Rename the duplicate copies with any name you like, but the two root file names, such as dm_connector_svc, must be identical. For example, name the duplicate copies myservice.exe and myservice.properties. Inside the copied properties file, (myservice.properties), change the Windows Service name and description which will be registered when the service is installed:

service.name=My Dmkr Connector
service.description=My second copy of the Documaker Connector 

Also set the name of the Connector properties file that contains your configuration as the second argument to the program:

service.jvm.args.2=-Dconfig\=dmkr-ucm-conn.properties

The \= (backslash and equal sign) is required to preserve the = (equal sign) when the file is processed.
