Multiple Servers ad a Service

edited December 2004 in Server
Until version 7 it was not possible to have more than 1 server running as a
service.
In version 9 it seems to be the same.
This would be a very usefull feature in 9.1 !!
Now i'm having 4 servers running, each one of them is listening to a
different port, they work fine together, but it would be much nicer if they
could run as a service !!

    I created an example windows service application that includes rsServer. I
    had not tried this before, but it is extremely simple to implement. Though
    not as fancy as ReportBuilder Services, it does the job quite nicely. :)

    The architecture of ReportBuilder Services is not designed to allow multiple
    instances per machine. ReportBuilder Services utilizes COM to start and
    stop the server application. The server application implements a COM
    interface (this is transparent to the developer, when you include
    rsServerActiveX). This architecture means that only one server application
    can be registered for the machine. (COM technology relies upon a GUID stored
    in the windows registry that is associated with a specific binary file.)
