Create and start a second geoprocessing service on a UNIX server

Summary

This document explains how to create and start a new geoprocessing service on a UNIX platform.

Procedure

1. Create a new directory to be the new ARCHOME for the new geoprocessing service:
   

   Code:
   unix% mkdir arcexe80.new

   
   
2. Copy the gpserver directory from the original ARCHOME to the new director:
   

   Code:
   unix% cp -r $ARCHOME/gpserver arcexe80.new

   
   
3. Add symbolic links to all the directories in the original ARCHOME directory:
   

   Code:
   unix% ln -s $ARCHOME/* arcexe80.new

   
   Note: The gpserver directory already exist so no links will be created for it.
4. Open the arcexe80.new/gpserver/services.rqm file in a text editor and change the instance name and port number to unique values.
5. Open the /etc/services file in a text editor and add the new instance and port number. The new instance and port number must match the instance and port number in the arcexe80.new/gpserver/services.rqm file.
6. Change the environment variable ARCHOME to point to the arcexe80.new directory:
   

   Code:
   unix% setenv ARCHOME /arcgis/arcexe80.new

   
   
7. Change the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to reflect the changes made to the ARCHOME variable:
   

   Code:
   unix% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ARCHOME/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/dt/lib

   
   
8. Use the alias command to reference the gpmon command from the new ARCHOME:
   

   Code:
   unix% alias gpmon $ARCHOME/bin/gpmon

   
   
9. Start the new geoprocessing service:
   

   Code:
   unix% gpmon -o start -p gps
