Additional SAP BW LSAM instances

New installation​

If additional LSAMs are needed after installing the initial SAP BW LSAM repeat the Install the SAP BW LSAM. The installation package will automatically transform to install new instances of the LSAM. After installing each new instance, define a new machine in OpCon with a unique name and port number using the procedure to Machine Creation.

Manually install additional LSAMs to unique directories​
