Identity Manager 4.0.1 Driver for Scripting Implementation ... - NetIQ

3.2.5 Running Multiple Instances of the Driver (optional)
Running multiple instances of the Windows Scripting Driver on the same system may benefit
performance. The instructions in this section assume that you have already installed the Windows
Scripting Driver to the system.
Adding an Instance
To add an instance:
1 Copy existing files:
After stopping your original driver, create a new directory, and copy all original driver files to
the new directory, using the same directory structure.
For example, copy files and directories from C:\Program Files\Novell\WSDriver to
C:\Program Files\Novell\WSDriver2.
2 Edit wsdrv.conf:
2a Open the file conf\wsdrv.conf in your new directory structure. Replace all file paths
with the path to the new instance directory.
For example, paths may appear for the -path, -tracefile and -connection options.
2b Change the port numbers (connection and HTTP) to be different from the original driver's
port numbers.
For example, if the original driver uses default ports 8090 and 8091, the new instance
could use 9090 and 9091. Note that these ports need to be opened in a firewall.
3 Create a new service:
Using the Command Prompt, run wsdriver.exe from the new instance directory with the
following options:
wsdriver -installService -instance {number} -path {path}
The instance number could be 2 for the second instance, 3 for a third, and so on. The path
should be the path to the new instance directory, using quote marks. Here's an example:
wsdriver -installService -instance 2 -path "C:\Program
Files\Novell\WSDriver2"
This command will create a service named Novell IDM Windows Script Driver - 2.
NOTE: If you would like to run a driver instance directly (not as a service), use the -instance
option:
wsdriver -instance 2
This option is not needed for the original instance.
4 Create a new driver object:
4a Using iManager, create a new IDM Driver to connect to the new instance. Alternatively,
export the original driver's configuration and import it as a new driver.
4b After creating the Driver, open its configuration. Change the port number in Remote
Loader Connection Parameters to the new instance's connection port.
5 Start the services and drivers:
Start the server for the original and new instances, and start the Drivers in iManager. The
instances will run independently.
