RE: Multiple instances on one server

Your service entry in your sqlhosts file should be unique. If you're using i_net for the first instance, you'll need something else for the second instance (e.g. i_net2). There should be a corresponding entry in the services file for the service (e.g. 1529/tcp i_net2) and the port number you want ot use.

Obviously I need additional entries in sqlhosts file and a separate onconfig and /etc/services as well, since I tried ontlitcp. But when I try to initialise the second instance it will show Error -25572: Network driver cannot bind a name to a port. I am pretty sure that there are no typing errors. sqlhosts: dehamca1 onipcshm dehamca1 dehamca1 dehamca1_tcp ontlitcp dehamca1 i_net dedev1_tcp ontlitcp dehamca1 i_net where the last line should be the second instance. The variable ONCONFIG is set to onconfig.dedev1, which contains all settings for this instance. The file onconfig.std is a link to onconfig.dedev1. Does anybody know why this happens? How do I get both instances to run? Thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Kai Shen Acer Computer Germany I.T.
