You can create a new Integration Server instance using the Integration Server instance creation script, is_instance.bat/sh, which is located in the Integration Server_directory \instances directory.

When you create a new Integration Server instance, the script creates a new folder under the SoftwareAG\profiles\IS_instance_name directory containing OSGI component files.

The script also creates a home directory for the instance under Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name. The home directory contains the predefined packages described in Predefined Packages.

When creating an instance, the script uses Software AG Update Manager to determine the most recent updates applied to another Integration Server instance within the same Integration Server installation on the host machine. The script then uses Update Manager to apply the updates to the new instance automatically. At the same time, the script also uses Update Manager to update existing instances with the same updates. The script updates only those instances in the same installation of Integration Server. After creating a new instance, all instances of Integration Server running on the same host machine and within the same installation will be at the same fix level. You do not need to shut down the existing Integration Server instances prior to running the script to create an instance.

If you want the server instance to use components or services contained in other packages, you must add the packages to the Integration Server. For example, if you want the server instance to use webMethods Deployer, webMethods API Gateway, or webMethods Application Platform, you must add the WmDeployer, WmAPIGateway, or WmAppPlat packages respectively to the Integration Server instance. The Software AG Installer installs packages in the package repository, which is located under the Software AG_directory \IntegrationServer\packages directory.
