Beginning with Integration Server 9.6, you can create and run multiple Integration Server instances under a single installation directory. Each Integration Server instance has a home directory under Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name that contains the packages, configuration files, log files, and updates for the instance.

For more information about running multiple Integration Server instances, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.

This guide uses the packages_directory as the home directory in Integration Server classpaths. For Integration Server 9.6 and above, the packages_directory is Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\packages directory. For Integration Server 9.5 and lower, the packages_directory is Integration Server_directory \packages directory.
