Parallel use

In certain use cases, it may be necessary to operate several push agents on one system. It is therefore possible to start the push agent via a console window - in addition to the standard installation as a Windows service.

Different configuration files are required when using multiple push agents. The following call starts an instance of the push agent in the console.

TcIotPushAgent.exe -c "TcIotPushAgent.conf" -v

The use of -v is optional and ensures that log messages are output to the console. The log file is placed next to the configuration file. If no separate configuration file is specified using -c, the standard configuration file of the Windows service is used. This can lead to unexpected behavior under certain circumstances and should be avoided by the user.
