Multiple processes

The WebSphere® Transformation Extender Launcher has a multiple-processes feature.

This feature enables the Launcher to run multiple Launcher processes, each containing one or more systems (.msl files), within a single installation. It will run each system or group of systems in a separate Launcher process allowing you to add, remove and modify a Launcher process without affecting other running Launcher processes. Running the Launcher in separate Launcher processes also offers a more scalable and robust run-time environment. The WebSphere Transformation Extender Launcher can be configured to run using the CompoundSystem approach (all systems run in a single Launcher process), or to run each system (.msl file) or group of systems in multiple Launcher processes.

The documentation describes the different types of configurations available for running multiple processes within a single installation and how each configuration type affects system processing.

The WebSphere Transformation Extender Launcher multiple-processes feature is also available to use with the z/OS® operating system on IBM® z/Architecture® platforms.

Note: If you will be running systems specifically through the z/OS native administration interface (NAI), the WebSphere Transformation Extender Launcher multiple-processes feature allows you to run multiple Launcher processes, each containing one or more systems (.msl files), within a single installation of the Launcher as described in the"z/OS Launcher" documentation.
