Err with more than 1 Middle Tier Service on the same machine

ta5

Hello
If we have more than one middle tier service on the same machine there are event log entries on service startup:

Ereignistyp:	Fehler
Ereignisquelle:	MicrosoftDynamicsNAVServer
Ereigniskategorie:	Keine
Ereigniskennung:	0

We also analyzed with ProcessMonitor from SysInternals and it seems the the same temp files are being accessed by more than one service. Although the service seems to run without further problems I wonder how this error could be avoided.
Many thanks in advance.

Which OS are you running? Have you set different ports in the CustomSettings.config?

ta5

OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
Ports: Yes, each service runs on its own port

What is the names and ports of your instances on that box? If you have overlapping instance names on seperate ports this may be the reason

Hi Claus
Thanks for helping. Names and ports are different. Any other ideas? :?

The Net TCP Port Sharing service... I remember I had problems with it on Server2008

Hi Mihail
I don't use port sharing, because all services use separate names and ports.
Thanks

I don't know if this is possible (may be it is). When I create new services, they are always depended to the NetTcpPortSharing service...

Hi

The problem does still exist. There is another problem when debugging the middle tier, because the source files from different middle tier services are always in subfolders of this folder
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Server\MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer.

So imho different problems but maybe same reason: Each middle tier services uses same folders for program data. Is it possible to change this? Any help pointing in the right direction would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Thomas

Nobdy? I guess I'm the only one having this problem ](*,)

You should use different service folder for each service. While you're trying to have one service folder for 2 or more services.
So copy your entire service folder to a new folder.
Take a look http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd301437.aspx

Hi Buba
Thx for replying. I have already done this before, but without port sharing.

Hi Thomas

The problem does still exist. There is another problem when debugging the middle tier, because the source files from different middle tier services are always in subfolders of this folder
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Server\MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer.

So you're trying to get it running in the same folder?, sorry if I misunderstood
Can't help you there, since I've never done it that way myself.

Problem solved, it was a simple typing error (quite embarrassing...)

I have missed the bold part in the sc command. No other effects, just the problem with the path as in the thread starting posting.

sc \\<computername> create MicrosoftDynamicsNAVServer$NAV2 binpath= "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Service2\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Server.exe $NAV2" DisplayName= "Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Instance 2" start= auto type= own

Thanks again for all your contributions, great forum =D>

Hi All,
I am having the same problem. There are 5 NAV servers and Web services which are running on the same machine. All of them are using different port numbers and running from different folders. I am using NAV 2009 R2. Can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this error?
