The typical method of doing this with MIM is using VMWare.
There is an alternative method:
1) In the registry, manually create the node artifacts for a client node:
- /NodeInfo/[NodeName].xml
- /NodeInfo/[NodeName]/Launcher.xml
- /NodeInfo/[NodeName]/Connection.xml
- /NodeInfo/[NodeName]/ClientConnection.xml
2) Create your client MQ queues
3) Create a client.xml for this new node (e.g., [MIMInstallPath]/bin/[NodeName]_client.xml
3) Create a batch file to start your client node:
cd %XM_INSTALL_PATH%\bin\
set XMDIRECTORY=C:\Program Files\Metastorm\MIM\bin\[NodeName]_client.xml
start "[NodeName]" /min "%XM_INSTALL_PATH%\bin\nodeagent"
