Run multiple AdminServers

If you plan to run more than one OpenEdge releases on the same system, consider the following requirements and recommendations to ensure proper configuration and avoid conflicts:

• You must run multiple AdminServers—Each OpenEdge release requires its own instance of the AdminServer. For example, if you have an old version of OpenEdge installed and plan to install the latest version of OpenEdge, you must run a separate AdminServer for each release.
• Only one OpenEdge installation can use the default port values—If multiple installations attempt to use the same default port, a conflict will occur. Several port parameters are preconfigured with default values and must be updated manually. These parameters include -port, -adminport, and the agent.properties file (all of which can be set in the adminserverplugins.properties and the agent.properties files, which are used only if you are using OpenEdge Management).

• Review and update your port assignments—Before you run a second or additional OpenEdge installation in a production environment, reviewing and updating your port assignments ensures that duplicate ports do not conflict in their attempt to use identical default values.
