Installing the software

Use these instructions to install Rational® Synergy.

Before you begin

If you are installing Rational Synergy on a remote file system, read Installing onto a remote file system.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the installation computer as user root.
  2. Mount the installation media. If your system does not automount the DVD, use the appropriate mount command shown in the following table.
    Table 1. Mount commands, by platform
    Platform Command
    Solaris mount -r -F hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom
    AIX® mount /cdrom
    IRIX mount -r -t iso9660 cd_device /media
    Tru64 mount -t cdfs -o noversion /cd_device /media
    Linux mount /media/cdrom
    Note: If your DVD is mounted automatically, you must know the directory in which the media is mounted.
  3. Set the SID and the Oracle Sun home directory.
       $ ORACLE_SID=sargasso; export ORACLE_SID
       $ ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle; export ORACLE_HOME
  4. Run the installation program (ccm_install).
    Note: When running ccm_install, you must set the environment variable ccm_home. If this installation is your primary installation, set ccm_home to the path of the directory that is about to be installed. Otherwise, set ccm_home to the directory already installed for the current platform when installing secondary platform binary files into installation directories with the -p and -d options.

    You must run ccm_install either on the same computer type as the binary files you are installing, or on a different computer type using the -p[latform] flag to designate the type of binary file.

    Table 2. Arguments for the -p option
    Platform Attribute value
    Oracle Sun solaris
    AIX ibm or aix
    IRIX sgi or irix
    Tru64 alpha or dec
    Linux linux

    The ccm_install program installs into either $CCM_HOME or the directory specified with the -d (destination directory) option. For more information about the -d option, see Installing onto a remote file system.

    If you are using the Bourne shell, the commands for setting the environment variables and running the installation command are as follows:

    root# CCM_HOME=ccm_home; export CCM_HOME
    root# PATH=$CCM_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
    root# /media/ccm/unix/bin/ccm_install -x

    Use the values for ccm_home and media that you entered on the worksheet.

    Note: You must set CCM_HOME to your Rational Synergy 7.2 installation directory. Do not leave CCM_HOME set to a previous 7.1, 7.0 or 6.5 installation, or that installation might be overwritten by Rational Synergy 7.2.
  5. You are prompted to accept the software license agreement. If you do not agree, the installation terminates.
  6. The ccm_install program prompts you for the router service host name, router service name, router service port number, ESD (engine startup daemon) port number, CCM server port number, license server host name, license server port number, and Rational Directory Server port number. To answer these prompts, see items 10 to 19 on the worksheet. ESD is applicable only if you are using it for Rational Change.
