Creating an APPX Connection Service

Changed:

<
<

On Unix/Linux systems, an instance of the APPX Connection Service is initially created and configured by running the "appxdsvc" command. At least one instance of the APPX Connection Service must be created, configured, and started before an APPX Client can initiate an APPX session. You may create, configure, and start as many different instances of the APPX Connection Service as you desire. However, each concurrently running instance must be configured to listen for connection requests on a different TCP/IP port.

The -install option of the appxdsvc command is used to initially create, configure, and start an instance of the APPX Connection Service. The following steps are performed:

The configuration files are created(ini and env)
The O/S service is created,
