You can run more than one instance of the same adapter on one or multiple computers. The instances can use the same configuration data or different configuration data. Adapter configurations are defined using TIBCO Designer. Each adapter instance can have different sessions, endpoints, timers, and metadata.
Figure 11 shows the ZAP adapter with several instance definitions. Each instance definition starts as a clone of the ZAP adapter and has a unique set of configuration data defined.
The project repository for each adapter is in a separate user-defined adapter directory, and uses a unique instance ID and project name. The information for each project is then used by the adapter program at runtime.
