Configuring multiple instances for a single deployment

You can deploy multiple instances through a single deployment.

About this task

If you enable the multiple instance deployment function, a user can deploy multiple instances through a single deployment. The deployed instances use the deployment name as the prefix of each single instance. The new names also use -x as the suffix, where x is the index of that instance.

Procedure

  1. To enable or disable this feature, set the following property value within the deployment.properties file that is in the .SCE42 directory:
    • com.ibm.cfs.deployments.multi.enabled=true to enable the function.
    • com.ibm.cfs.deployments.multi.enabled=false to disable the function.
    Note: By default, this feature is enabled.
  2. To control the maximum number of instances that a user is allowed to deploy at one time, set the following property value within the deployment.properties file:
    com.ibm.cfs.deployments.multi.max.value=5
    Note:
    • The default value is 5.
    • If this value is set too high, it might overload the connected cloud.
