Merging two plug-in files together

If you wish to front-end two or more WebSphere cells with the same Web server and plug-in, you will need to manually merge the plug-in files from each cell into one file. Front-ending multiple cells with a single plug-in can be useful for tasks

such as providing a higher level of failover capability, phased migration of WebSphere versions, etc.

When merging the files, follow the suggestions below:

1. Make sure you have unique names for the following tags:

• ServerCluster
• VirtualHostGroup
• UriGroup
• Route.

2. The contents of the following tags cannot be duplicated:

• You cannot have more than one Route with the identical contents, even if they have different names.
• The same URI should not be defined in more than one URIGroup.
• You cannot have two VirtualHostGroups configured for the same port number.
