Supporting Multiple Control-O/COSMOS Instances

Usually, only one Control-O/COSMOS instance, running on one IOA installation, is started for each CPU. When more than one IOA installation is running on the same CPU, Control-O/COSMOS normally runs on only one of these IOA installations. In these cases, Control-O/COSMOS commands are handled by the single Control-O/COSMOS instance.

There are, however, test and development environments that may require more than one Control-O/COSMOS instance for each CPU. In such environments, it is essential that Control-O/COSMOS commands are run on the correct instance of Control-O/COSMOS.
