IBM® Rational® Change supports multiple databases
on the same installation. However, if you are running the program
with even one UNIX database,
all the installation databases must be UNIX databases.
You can run a database on a different platform, but the database must
go through a remote server to do so.
Before you begin
Ensure that the Rational Synergy
7.2 or later Main Server is installed on UNIX and
a database is unpacked.
Rational Synergy
must be installed and operational on the UNIX server.
For more information, see the "Installing" section of the IBM Rational Synergy help.
Note: For Rational Change
5.3 and later, there is a new way to configure the server, but this
configuration achieves the same results.
Procedure
To install on Windows with
a UNIX Rational Synergy database:
- Start ESD on the UNIX server:
$CCM_HOME/bin/ccm_esd
You may need
to set the ESD address in $CCM_HOME/etc/esd.adr using
the format hostname:port.
For
more information about ESD, see the "Starting and stopping the engine
startup daemon (esd)" topic in the IBM Rational Synergy help.
- Install Rational Synergy
7.2 or later Compact Client on Windows.
During installation, enter the UNIX router.
Or
edit %CCM_HOME%\etc\_router.adr after the installation.
- Install Rational Change
5.3 or 5.3.1 on Windows.
During installation, enter the UNIX host
for running Rational Synergy
sessions, use the Windows Rational Synergy installation,
and enter the UNIX database
path.
- Instruct Rational Change
to use ESD to start the UI processes.
- Edit CHANGE_APP_HOME\WEB-INF\wsconfig\pt.cfg.
- Set ENGINE_DAEMON = true:.
[CCM_SYSTEM][ENGINE_DAEMON]true[/ENGINE_DAEMON][/CCM_SYSTEM]
Normally, engine processes are started by the UI processes.
To start them using ESD instead, edit ~session_user/.ccm.ini and
set engine_daemon = TRUE.
- Restart Rational Change
to apply the changes that were made to the pt.cfg file.
- Verify that the UI and engine processes started properly
on the UNIX host by running
the following command on the UNIX host:
ccm monitor -user session_user
