Symptoms

After you create an additional adTempus service instance, the new instance fails to start. The Application log in the Event Viewer shows this error message from adTempus:

Failed to initialize listeners for remote connections: The TransportManager failed to listen on the supplied URI using the NetTcpPortSharing service: the service failed to listen.

Cause

This error occurs if the default adTempus instance was running when you created the new instance and enabled the Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service. Because that instance was already running, it does not know that it needs to share its ports.

Resolution

Restart the default adTempus instance, then start the additional instance(s).
