Solved: more than once instance of the gateway?

vanessafvg · ‎10-26-2016

is it possible to install more than one gateway on your servers? i can't see anything in the documentation around this? For example if you wanted to separate our your areas such as dev test etc? The reason i am asking is because IT are wondering if there is only one gateway if there will be possible performance issues

If I took the time to answer your question and I came up with a solution, please mark my post as a solution and /or give kudos freely for the effort 🙂 Thank you!

@vanessafvg Yes you can install more than one data-gateway (not personal one) on a server with different names. But you don't need to do that. Typically you can connect to TEST, DEV env with just one gateway but different data sources. Performance issue I would suggest you start by having one data-gateway and then working out if you need another one.

I am trying to have multiple Quickbooks instances for a client. Can you install more than one gateway to achieve this functionality?

more than once instance of the gateway?
