Use the ACTIVEMQ_BASE environment variable to support running multiple broker instances from he same activemq install ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AMQ-997 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-997 Project: ActiveMQ Issue Type: New Feature Reporter: Hiram Chirino Assigned To: Hiram Chirino Fix For: 4.1 The activemq startup shell scripts are allready using / find the ACTIVEMQ_HOME which is where AcitiveMQ has been installed. Currently, you can only run one instance of the broker per ActiveMQ installation directory. We should support running multiple broker instances using that same ACTIVEMQ_HOME. All the per broker instance variable data should be relative to a new ACTIVEMQ_BASE enviroment variable. By default the ACTIVEMQ_BASE == ACTIVEMQ_HOME so that sarting up the default activemq instance continues to behave as it allways has. Createing a new per instance directory, as admin should only have to do: {code} export ACTIVEMQ_BASE=/path/to/new/directory mkdir -p ${ACTIVEMQ_BASE} cp -R ${ACTIVEMQ_HOME}/conf ${ACTIVEMQ_BASE} {code} customize the ${ACTIVEMQ_BASE}/conf/activemq.xml file And to run the new instance: {code} export ACTIVEMQ_BASE=/path/to/new/directory ${ACTIVEMQ_HOME}/bin/activemq {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
