Multiple Thingworx Instance with Same Server

We have hosted Thingworx 8.5.1 in our local.
We need upgrade to Thingworx 9.4.x. It is having multiple applications and data.

Is that possible to host two thingworx instance (Installer and Manual) in same server?

Hi @SC_10187722.

 

This is not a supported configuration.  Hosting 2 instances on the same system is prone to issues.

 

It's recommended that you set up a clone of your 8.5.1 instance on a separate VM.  Then use your clone to test the upgrade procedure and regression test all your apps.  Custom extensions and mashups may require update under the 9.4.x version.

 

Depending on the process you use for setting up your clone, you'll need to be careful of schedulers and timers, as well as integrations with external systems, to ensure your production environment is not compromised.

 

Regards.

For test only, it is possible if you are using different ports for different Thingworx instance.

However, for Production System or dev system, as Thingworx 8.5 and 9.4 have different software compatibility, see Thingworx 9.4 Matrix and Thingworx 8.5 Matrix, especially they require different JDK, Operating System etc, they can't be installed on the same server.
