You can install the compact client on a domain, workgroup, or local computer. The compact client installation includes the Rational Synergy and Synergy Classic interfaces.
You must satisfy the following conditions before installing the compact client.
The compact client is installed if you are using either the downloadable installation feature or the automatic update feature. In order to start the download, you must provide a URL that identifies the Rational Synergy CCM Server, as this is where the installation is launched. The CCM server is a Web server that serves online help for all Rational Synergy GUI sessions, both Web mode and traditional mode. The URL has the format
http://hostname:port_number/install.html, where
hostname is the hostname of the computer where the server
is installed, and
port_number is the port number of the server.
The CM administrator needs to provide the URL to users who perform the compact client installation by downloading it. If users are updating their client installations after the Windows server has been updated, the connection will be made automatically. For more information about automatic updates, see Updating client installations automatically.
