All customer sites that plan to use the Rational Synergy Windows server must install a main Windows server on their network. Typically, the main server is installed on a Windows server computer. This installation (see Installing the main Windows server) gives you everything you need to run Rational Synergy sessions, including:
These services include the router, license manager, object registrar, and engine startup service.
If your team needs more than one database server, you can install additional database servers on separate Windows server computers.
An alternative to installing a Rational Synergy Windows server is to install a Rational Synergy UNIX server.
Install the UNIX server before installing clients that access the server.
