Multiple SOAP Gateway server
instances can share a single instance of the Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM). This option reduces
the amount of storage required for each additional server instance
and improves the serviceability because a SDK service update needs
to be installed only once to apply to all SOAP Gateway servers sharing
that SDK.
Every server instance must
have access to the directory where the IBM® SDK
is installed.
To install multiple SOAP Gateway server instances that share one JVM:
- Install the first SOAP Gateway server.
- Install the subsequent instances
of the SOAP Gateway server,
but exclude the IBM Java SDK from installation. .
- Issue the command iogmgmt -prop -u -java -h SDK_path.
You must issue this command to the
SOAP Gateway in
the
install_dir/imsserver/deploy directory
of the new server instance. Each
SOAP Gateway server
instance has an independent
SOAP Gateway management utility.
This
command binds the new SOAP Gateway server instance to the existing IBM SDK. You must issue this command
before you can issue other SOAP Gateway management utility commands.
You
can view the current Java home
directory with the following command:
iogmgmt -view -java -h
- Use the SOAP Gateway management utility to
configure the new server instance.
