      Can you have two versions of Cloverleaf running at the same time on the same box?  We are planning a conversion from Cloverleaf 5.4.1 to Cloverleaf 5.6 on HP-UX.  We were thinking of feeding our inputs to both Cloverleaf versions.

          As host or client?

          I have not tried to do it on a single host. I’m betting you can.

          Maybe have to change some server setting.

          As client I know you can I’m doing that right now.

            As a host.  The 5.4 would send raw messages to 5.6 on a different port.

              I don’t think so in your case because of an environment variable.

              5.4 is QUOVADX_INSTALL_DIR

              5.6 is CL_INSTALL_DIR

                Hi Alice,

                I’ve no experience of Unix but on a Windows server I’ve run four different versions of Cloverleaf at the same time. The only problem I had was having to ensure that I didn’t use the same ports on more than one instance to connect to the same third party system.

                Regards

                Garry

                  The software is designed to run multiple versions on the same machine.

                  The only thing to watch out for is to make sure that the o/s you are running is supported on both versions that you want to run.

                    Rob, will the INSTALL_DIR environment variables get in the way?

                      Rob,

                      Does multiple versions apply to the client software? Some time back I got the CD of 5.4 (OEM from McKesson) to test while running 5.2.1. It would not install the client on Windows unless you said “yes” to delete the older version. Is that how it’s supposed to work?

                        The install_dir variables should not get in the way.
