Install multiple Message Connectors on one computer

Multiple instances of Message Connector on one computer are required for the active/active Windows cluster configuration.

  1. Install the first instance of Message Connector normally. See Install Message Connector.
  2. To install the second instance, click Install Message Connector Instance 02 (optional). Follow the wizard to conclude the installation.
  3. To install the third instance, click Install Message Connector Instance 03 (optional). Follow the wizard to conclude the installation.

You cannot reinstall the second or third instance of Message Connector, if it is already installed. Use the Program and Features panel of Windows Control Panel and select the required Message Connector instance to repair/reinstall.

The default values of many parameters for the second and third instances are different from the first instance. Carefully review the configuration settings.
