Hello,
Can I have under the same application server more than one Webclient?
I remember some kind of limitation, I was searching but didn't find.
If not, can one Webclient connect to different WF server configurations? Let's say I have WF server FMC1 and WF server FMC2. Each server has a database, and in each server there are the same names FMCGRP and FMCSYS.
Thanks!

I believe if you use the Native Java API (requires 3.5 and up) then I don't think there is any issue.
If you use the Standard java API (which uses JNI to C/C++ api) then you will have problems. There is a docuemnt referenced in the TechNotes above:

I think this will solve the issue.

Standard web client cannot but you can write your own client to do that |

Thanks jmac and venella, but i'm a bit confused about setting up WebClient with more than one WF group. In <mqwfdir>/DOC/WebClient/setups.html says:
... the Web client can interface with any existing MQ Workflow server..
when setting up WebClient with a MQ server.
The logon page offers a system group selection, can I use this to select the system group? Or the info passed there is ingored ?

If you want to specify the system group, then you need to configure the right connect names. |

Just to clarify:
in MQWF 3.5 you can use the web client and the classic Java API as shipped with the product. In this case you can have only one webclient application running in your AppServer (unless you do some tricky things). This web client can be configured to connect to different system groups by adding multiple connect names in a single configuration.
If you use the native Java API supportPac (http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24007536 )you can run more than one web client application in the same AppServer but you cannot use multiple connect names in a single configuration. So you have to define a dedicated configuration for each web client that needs to connect to a different system group.
In MQWF 3.6 you will only have the native Java API so the second approach seems to be the better one for me. The 3.6 web client will provide the possibility to switch between the different configurationIDs. |

Thanks hos,
and when I had a new Connect Name in Client Connections tab, I need a valid queue manager with a valid queue prefix.
I guess I'm starting to understand the setup possibilities!
