Joseph Doherty a326a8cbde fix(lmxproxy): make MxAccess client name unique per instance
Multiple instances registering with the same name may cause MxAccess to
conflict on callback routing. ClientName is now configurable via
appsettings.json, defaulting to a GUID-suffixed name if not set.
Instances A and B use "LmxProxy-A" and "LmxProxy-B" respectively.

LmxProxy v2 — Instance Configuration

Two instances of the LmxProxy v2 Host service are deployed on windev (10.100.0.48), both connecting to the same AVEVA System Platform via MxAccess COM.

Service Management

# Instance A
sc start ZB.MOM.WW.LmxProxy.Host.V2
sc stop ZB.MOM.WW.LmxProxy.Host.V2
sc query ZB.MOM.WW.LmxProxy.Host.V2

# Instance B
sc start ZB.MOM.WW.LmxProxy.Host.V2B
sc stop ZB.MOM.WW.LmxProxy.Host.V2B
sc query ZB.MOM.WW.LmxProxy.Host.V2B

Health Endpoints

# Instance A
curl http://10.100.0.48:8081/api/health
curl http://10.100.0.48:8081/api/status

# Instance B
curl http://10.100.0.48:8082/api/health

Client Connection

// Instance A
var clientA = new LmxProxyClientBuilder()
    .WithHost("10.100.0.48")
    .WithPort(50100)
    .WithApiKey("c4559c7c6acc60a997135c1381162e3c30f4572ece78dd933c1a626e6fd933b4")
    .Build();

// Instance B
var clientB = new LmxProxyClientBuilder()
    .WithHost("10.100.0.48")
    .WithPort(50101)
    .WithApiKey("c4559c7c6acc60a997135c1381162e3c30f4572ece78dd933c1a626e6fd933b4")
    .Build();

Updating Instances

After code changes, both instances need to be republished separately:

# Stop both
sc stop ZB.MOM.WW.LmxProxy.Host.V2
sc stop ZB.MOM.WW.LmxProxy.Host.V2B

# Publish
dotnet publish src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxProxy.Host -c Release -r win-x86 --self-contained false -o C:\publish-v2
dotnet publish src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxProxy.Host -c Release -r win-x86 --self-contained false -o C:\publish-v2b

# Restore instance-specific config (publish overwrites appsettings.json)
# Instance B needs port 50101/8082 and log prefix lmxproxy-v2b-

# Start both
sc start ZB.MOM.WW.LmxProxy.Host.V2
sc start ZB.MOM.WW.LmxProxy.Host.V2B

Note: dotnet publish overwrites appsettings.json in the output directory with the source copy (which has default ports 50051/8080). After publishing, verify the instance-specific config is correct before starting the service.
