How to start multiple instances of BxMS 6.4 on the same server?
Environment
- Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite (BPMS) 6.4
- Red Hat JBoss BRMS (BRMS) 6.4
Issue
- How to start multiple instances of BPM Suite 6.4 on the same server?
- When we try to start two BRMS server instance on same machine it fails with exception:
Caused by: org.uberfire.java.nio.IOException: java.net.BindException: Address already in use
at org.uberfire.java.nio.fs.jgit.JGitFileSystemProvider.buildAndStartDaemon(JGitFileSystemProvider.java:338) [uberfire-nio2-jgit-0.3.0-redhat-6.jar:0.3.0-redhat-6]
We are using different port off set(jboss.socket.binding.port-offset) for both server instances but still it fails with same exception.
Resolution
To start multiple BxMS server instances on same machine specify unique value for following system properties in standalone-*|domain.xml or while starting server instance:
org.uberfire.nio.git.ssh.hostORorg.uberfire.nio.git.ssh.portorg.uberfire.nio.git.daemon.hostORorg.uberfire.nio.git.daemon.port
Note that you need to set a different host or port for git and ssh protocols to avoid conflict issues. Also, make sure that each instance is pointing to a different git repository, index and cert directories by specifying the following properties:
org.uberfire.nio.git.dirorg.uberfire.metadata.index.dirorg.uberfire.nio.git.ssh.cert.dir
Please refers to BPM Suite - Administration and Configuration guide to get further details about each property.
Note: It is not possible to increment these ports based on jboss.socket.binding.port-offset because this option increments ports used by the JBoss server instance only not deployed application specific.
