How Is Microservices Runtime Different from Integration Server?
Microservices Runtime is a superset of Integration Server which means that Microservices Runtime provides features and functionality that Integration Server does not. However, in addition to these features, Microservices Runtime differs from Integration Server in the following ways:
*Microservices Runtime does not support running multiple instances of Microservices Runtime on the same host machine under the same Software AG_directory . As such, the Microservices Runtime directory structure does not include the following directories:
Integration Server_directory /instances/instanceName
When reviewing documentation, references to Integration Server_directory /instances/instanceName for Integration Server map to the Integration Server_directory directory in Microservices Runtime.
*Microservices Runtime does not use the OSGi platform. Consequently, a Microservices Runtime installation does not include the following directory: Integration Server_directory /profiles/
*Microservices Runtime does not use the Java Service Wrapper developed by Tanuki Software, Ltd., Consequently, Microservices Runtime does not use the Java Service Wrapper configuration files wrapper.conf and custom_wrapper.conf for property settings. Instead, Java system properties are set in Integration Server_directory /bin/setenv.bat(sh) using the JAVA_CUSTOM_OPTS property.
*A JMX port is not enabled by default for Microservices Runtime.
*Microservices Runtime cannot be run as a Windows service.
*Features available on a standard Integration Server are optional on a Microservices Runtime. Optional feature are not installed by default on Microservices Runtime and must be selected specifically during the installation of Microservices Runtime.
