Adjusting the Service Configuration

If you need to deploy two instances of the RheinInsights Retrieval Suite on one and the same Windows instance, you can proceed as follows

  1. Create two separate folders to host the respective RheinInsights Retrieval Suite instances

  2. Unzip our zip file into each of these folders

  3. Go to the respective services folders

  4. Edit rheininsights-retrieval-suite.xml

  5. Adjust the service id and service name accordingly. For instance
    <id>rheininsights-retrieval-suite-pre-prod</id>
    <name>RheinInsights Retrieval Suite (Pre Prod)</name>

  6. Run
    ./rheininsights-retrieval-suite.exe install

Please note that for each and every service upgrade, you need to make sure that the adjusted rheininsights-retrieval-suite.xml is used when executing ./rheininsights-retrieval-suite.exe install. Otherwise, you will run into conflicts during the service setup for the upgraded deployment.
