iWay 6.0.1 SM can be installed onto a system that has iWay 5.6 already installed, however, there are some caveats. This section discusses the strategies for setting up a mixed iWay installation on Windows and on the UNIX variant operating systems.
For all machines and operating systems, it is important that you choose an iWay 6.0.1 SM installation directory that is different from the existing iWay 5.6 directory. If you attempt to install both to the same directory, portions of your iWay 5.6 configuration and executable components will be overwritten.
Most likely, the default directory path presented during the iWay 6.0.1 SM installation (ending in iWay60) will be unique on your system, but if it is not, be sure to specify a directory path different than that of iWay 5.6.
For example, on UNIX you may have installed your iWay 5.6 to:
/opt/iway/iway56
When installing iWay 6.0.1 SM you could specify the following path to avoid a conflict:
/opt/iway/iWay60
Note: iWay 5.6 and iWay 6.0.1 SM use different environment variables to record their install directories, thus preventing ambiguity at runtime.
