Running Rational Synergy processes across a network

Rational® Synergy daemons can be run on different computers across a network. To run Rational Synergy processes across network installations, all computers share one set of Rational Synergy daemons.

However, you might want to run your daemons on different computers, and these computers need not be the same platform. For example, you can manage your databases by using an Oracle Sun server, but run the Rational Synergy software on a Linux workstation.

The following sections describe where you can run Rational Synergy daemons when you have multiple installations.

Rational Synergy daemon processes

Follow these guidelines for running Rational Synergy daemon processes:

Engine processes

You must create library links after installing the software. After installing the software on the primary platform, and after installing any secondary platforms onto the file server, you must run the ccm_install -l command once on each engine host. This command and option create library links in the /usr/lib directory, from the local computer to the Oracle installation. You must run the command as root.

Rational Synergy databases

You can create Rational Synergy databases on any database server.
