Configure more than one service and/or context to be updated
Please duplicate the entries used and add a number suffix. Here is an example:
<add key="Protocol" value="https" />
<add key="Protocol01" value="https" />
<add key="Protocol01" value="https" />
Remark: The number should be continuously incremented by one, if there is a number missing in between (-> e.g. Protocol, Protocol01, Protocol03,..), the last executed will be Protocol01.
