Configuring Multiple Instances of WorkflowGen

Overview

This section describes how to configure multiple instances of WorkflowGen on the same web server. Each instance of WorkflowGen also requires a dedicated license. This section assumes that you've already installed separate instances of WorkflowGen as described in the Setup section.

For instructions on how to configure multiple instances of WorkflowGen on different servers in a Web Farm setup, see the Web Farm architecture section.

Setup and configuration

To configure multiple instances of WorkflowGen on a single server, perform the steps outlined below. While more than two installations are possible, the following steps assume only two instances are installed.

Before modifying the service, it must be uninstalled using the winsvc-uninstall.cmd file found in the \bin folder of the application installation (for example, DRIVE:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen\Services\bin\winsvc-uninstall.cmd). Be sure to run it as the administrator of the server.

WorkflowGen directory synchronization service

For both instances of WorkflowGen, edit the parameter name in the WfgDirectoriesSyncService.exe.config WorkflowGen directory synchronization service configuration file as shown in the following examples.

Instance 1:

Edit the DRIVE:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen1\Services\bin\WfgDirectoriesSyncService.exe.config file as follows:

<add key="ServiceName" value="WorkflowGenDirSyncService1" />

Instance 2:

Edit the DRIVE:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen2\Services\bin\WfgDirectoriesSyncService.exe.config file as follows:

<add key="ServiceName" value="WorkflowGenDirSyncService2" />

WorkflowGen engine service

For both instances of WorkflowGen, edit the parameter name in the WfgWorkflowEngineService.exe.config WorkflowGen engine service configuration file.

Instance 1:

Edit the DRIVE:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen1\Services\bin\WfgWorkflowEngineService exe.config file as follows:

<add key="ServiceName" value="WorkflowGenEngineService1" />

Instance 2:

Edit the DRIVE:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen2\Services\bin\WfgWorkflowEngineService exe.config file as follows:

<add key="ServiceName" value="WorkflowGenEngineService2" />

Windows command scripts (install and uninstall of services)

For both instances of WorkflowGen you need to modify the Windows shell scripts that are used to install and uninstall the WfgDirectoriesSyncService and WfgWorkflowEngineService Windows services as described above.

Instance 1:

Install script: DRIVE:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen1\Services\bin\winsvc-install.cmd Based on the value given for the ServiceName parameter defined in the WorkflowGen directory synchronization service section above, your winsvc-install.cmd file should appear as follows:

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /i "C:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen1\Services\bin\WfgDirectoriesSyncService.exe"
net start WorkflowGenDirSyncService1

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /i "C:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen1\Services\bin\WfgWorkflowEngineService.exe"
net start WorkflowGenEngineService1

pause

Uninstall script: DRIVE:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen1\Services\bin\winsvc-uninstall.cmd Based on the value given for the ServiceName parameter defined in the WorkflowGen directory synchronization service section above, your winsvc-uninstall.cmd file should appear as follows:

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /u "C:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen1\Services\bin\WfgDirectoriesSyncService.exe" /LogFile=

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /u "C:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen1\Services\bin\WfgWorkflowEngineService.exe" /LogFile=

pause

Instance 2:

Install script: DRIVE:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen2\Services\bin\winsvc-install.cmd Based on the value given for the ServiceName parameter defined in the WorkflowGen directory synchronization service section above, your winsvc-install.cmd file should appear as follows:

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /i "C:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen2\Services\bin\WfgDirectoriesSyncService.exe"
net start WorkflowGenDirSyncService2

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /i "C:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen2\Services\bin\WfgWorkflowEngineService.exe"
net start WorkflowGenEngineService2

pause

Uninstall script: DRIVE:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen2\Services\bin\winsvc-uninstall.cmd Based on the value given for the ServiceName parameter defined in the WorkflowGen directory synchronization service section above, your winsvc-uninstall.cmd file should appear as follows:

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /u "C:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen2\Services\bin\WfgDirectoriesSyncService.exe" /LogFile=

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /u "C:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen2\Services\bin\WfgWorkflowEngineService.exe" /LogFile=

pause

Install the Windows Services

For both instances, you must run the install scripts that have been modified as described above using administrator permissions.

Instance 1:

DRIVE:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen1\Services\bin\winsvc-install.cmd

Instance 2:

DRIVE:\Program Files\Advantys\WorkflowGen2\Services\bin\winsvc-install.cmd
