How configure a primavera web service to return data from the second database?

Question

Hi everyone,
We have P6 with first WS deployed on a single server weblogic domain. The first WS return data from the first database instance.
Then deployed advanced second WS on a separate weblogic domain server with a different port. Configured second WS with <WS2_INSTALL_HOME>/bin/dbconfig.sh, creating a new branch of a configuration that specifies a different second instance of the database. However, this configuration is ignored and second web services return data from the first database.
We have one domain, which including next servers:
Name / Host / Port / Deployments
P6 / localhost / 0001 / P6(v8.3), p6ws1(v8.3)
p6ws2 / localhost / 0002 / p6ws2(v8.3)
Now we have two different file BREBootstrap.xml.
P6 BREBootstrap.xml:
<Database>
<URL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@db1:1521:db1</URL>
<UserName>pubuser</UserName>
<Password>anycriptopass1</Password>
<Driver>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</Driver>
<PublicGroupId>1</PublicGroupId>
</Database>
<CfgVersion>8.330</CfgVersion>
<Configurations>
<BRE name="P6 Config_DB1" instances="1" logDir="anydir/P6EPPM/p6/PrimaveraLogs"/>
</Configurations>
p6ws2 BREBootstrap.xml:
<Database>
<URL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@db2:1521:db2</URL>
<UserName>pubuser</UserName>
<Password>anycriptopass2</Password>
<Driver>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</Driver>
<PublicGroupId>1</PublicGroupId>
</Database>
<CfgVersion>8.330</CfgVersion>
<Configurations>
<BRE name="P6 Config_DB2" instances="1" logDir="anydir/P6EPPM/ws2/PrimaveraLogs"/>
</Configurations>
‘P6 Config_DB1’ and ‘P6 Config_DB2’ including Database property for 1 and 2 database respectively.
How to configure a second web service to return data from the second database?
Thanks in advance!

OK, so I got this to work this morning with Username Token Profile (with little help from Oracle Support).
I followed your steps 1-4 but in step 2 I didn't add the -Ddatabase.instance=2 because I want to check to see if my code could swap between different instances.
It appears for Username Token Profile to use Database Instance, you need to set it in the soap header.
So my soap request looks like this:

This request pulled the project from the second instance.
