Environment Organization Guidelines

In many cases there will be a need for multiple instances of a development or test environment. For instance, one for developing the next release, another for bug fixing production, or perhaps other intermediate releases that are being tested in parallel.

When creating environments, it is a good idea to define a system for assigning non-overlapping TCP/IP ports, and never use the default ports provided by the software installer. Doing this will allow multiple instances of TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management instances and multiple TIBCO Fulfillment Catalog instances to reside on the same physical server. Of course CPU and memory are limiting factors here. If multiple Oracle instances are not possible, then consider a per environment naming scheme for the schemas used by TIBCO Fulfillment Catalog and TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management.
