Instantiating the Gateway

  • Last UpdatedMar 27, 2017

Newer OI Servers that have been optimized for Wonderware Operations Integration support multiple server instances, which means that you create additional server instances and even clone existing server instances in those server groups.

The same behavior applies to the OI Gateway. You can create a new instance of the Wonderware Gateway, and you can clone an existing instance of OI Gateway.

Note: Creating multiple instances of the Gateway or OI Servers requires a Professional level license. For more information, see Licensing for Gateway Features.

To create a new instance of the Wonderware Gateway

  1. In the OI Server Manager, navigate to the Gateway:

    1. Expand Operations Integration Server Manager, expand Default Group, and then expand Local.

    2. Expand Operations Integration Supervisory Servers.

  2. Right-click the Wonderware - Gateway group, and then click Create Server Instance on the shortcut menu. The Create OI Server Instance dialog box appears.

  3. In the Starting Instance and Ending Instance boxes, type the starting and ending numbers for sequentially numbered instances. For example, if Starting Instance is 0001 and Ending Instance is 0005, five instances numbered from 0001 to 0005 will be created.

  4. In the Custom Name box, type a custom name for the new instances. This is optional, but if you do type something, it will be combined with the instance number to form the actual suffix. For example, if Custom Name is A and the instances are numbered from 0001 to 0005, the actual suffixes will be from A0001 to A0005.

  5. Click OK. The new instances are created.

To clone an existing OI Gateway instance

  1. In the OI Server Manager, navigate to the existing OI Gateway:

    1. Expand the Operations Integration Server Manager, expand Default Group, and then expand Local.

    2. Expand Operations Integration Supervisory Servers.

    3. Expand Wonderware - Gateway.

  2. Right-click the Gateway instance, and then click Clone Instance on the shortcut menu. The Clone OI Server Instance dialog box appears.

  3. In the Custom Instance Name box, type a custom name for the new instance. This is optional.

  4. Click OK. The new cloned instance is created.
