A server can have multiple runtime instances. If you are running multiple instances on the same server, consider the amount of activity an instance creates and how the expected resource usage will impact performance.
In the Server Explorer view, right-click on the host name and select Create Runtime Instance.
Type the name for the new instance, using the following naming requirements.
The name must start with a letter.
Only letters, numbers, and underscores are allowed.
Creating the instance inserts the instance under the server in the Server Explorer and uses the Agent to create the runtime database and directory structure. The directory is contained in the server file system, which includes the packaged metadata.
The instance is created and uses default runtime instance configuration properties. For information about editing these properties, see Reviewing and Editing Runtime Instance Configuration Properties.
To set the runtime instance to Auto Start:
You can flag an instance to automatically start each time the Agent is started.
After the runtime instance is created and appears in the Server Explorer, right-click on the runtime instance.
Select Control > Auto Start from the popup menu. Click Auto Start to select and deselect this feature.
The instance is flagged to auto start if a checkmark appears to the left of the Auto Start menu item. The instance must be manually started if a checkmark does not appear to the left of the Auto Start menu item.
Note: Unwired Orchestrator allows you to configure up to 10 runtime instances. To increase the number of runtime instances beyond 10, you must modify the agent.properties file to define a greater range of port numbers for runtime instances. See Editing the agent.properties File and Increasing the Port Range for Runtime Instances.
