Issue/Introduction
How to configure multiple instances of the Workstation on the same Windows installation. In some cases a server is used by multiple users that need to run the Workstation simultaneously
Environment
All supported DevTest releases.
Cause
N/A
Resolution
Stop all instances of the Workstation
Remove any folders in C:\Users\<username>\lisatmp_10.x.x\amq\rpc\2008
In C:\Program Files\CA\DevTest\bin make a copy of Workstation.exe and name it Workstation2.exe (for example)
Also make a copy of Workstation.vmoptions and name it Workstation2.vmoptions
Add the following line in Workstation2.vmoptions and choose a port that is not being used: -Dlisa.net.0.port=3008
After that, one user can use Workstation.exe and another user can use Workstation2.exe
Additional Information
Make sure that the name of the vmoptions file is not Workstation2.vmoptions.txt The extension should be .vmoptions and not .txt In Windows Explorer in the View menu, tick 'File name extensions' That makes it easy to spot this issue.
