RE: [U2] [UD] Separate catalog space & 2 instances of Unidata installed
Andy, We have 3 instances of UniData running on a DEC Alpha and IBM AIX boxes. We created 3 unix directories '/usr/ud60/ud60dev', '/usr/ud60/ud60qa', and '/usr/ud60/ud60pc' and within them created symbolic links back to the '/usr/ud60' directories so the only 'real' subdirectory in the '/usr/ud60/ud60xx' directories is 'sys'. We created it as a copy of the /usr/ud60/sys directory. When a user logs in the .profile prompts for what UniData account to use, and then it sets the UDTHOME environment variable to the '/usr/ud60/ud60xx' directory. The UDTBIN variable is set to '/usr/ud60/bin'. It then cd's to the UniData account and executes UDT. The VOC in each of the accounts uses @UDTHOME, including Production so we can easily refresh the test accounts, instead of referencing '/usr/ud60'. It sounds harder than it really is.

RE: [U2] [UD] Separate catalog space & 2 instances of Unidata installed
From your sig I presume you are going to be running under Linux; UV at least, works under virtualisation, eg VMWare or Xen, to allow many separate virtual machines running UV on one physical box. We are in the midst of setting up one single user (or low user count) virtual machines for each of our developers and several various test VMs all on one low cost SUSE box using Xen. Everything is under source control, everything gets backed up, new VMs are instantiated in a few minutes. Our production systems are on a separate physical machine.

RE: [U2] [UD] Separate catalog space & 2 instances of Unidata installed
Running two separate instances of the UniData daemons for the same major release is not supported, but as others have posted, running with separate UDTHOMEs is both supported and documented. Look up newhome in the manuals. Once you created a new UDTHOME environment all you have to do is set UDTHOME and UDTBIN appropriately and you should be right.
