In Nigeria, we have two completely separate instance of Tomcat with two environment variables
DHIS2_HOME="/var/lib/tomcat6/conf/dhis2_conf" DHIS2_HOME_NG="/var/lib/tomcat6/conf/dhis2_conf_ng" The reason for the separate instances was really just to be able to allocate more CPU resources to a single Tomcat instance. You them modify /WEB-INF/lib/dhis-support-external-2.1-SNAPSHOT.jar Open up "mc" (or some other tool which can manipulate inside of a jar file) and navigate within the JAR file to META-INF/dhis/beans.xml and modify DHIS2_HOME to DHIS2_HOME_NG and then exit mc. This instance will read from the DHIS2_HOME_NG environment. On Windows, two separate DHIS2 Live directories configured for different ports would seem to be a better solution. Then you do not need to worry about this hack.
