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.
Follow these guidelines for running Rational Synergy daemon processes:
You must run one router process for the network Rational Synergy installation. You can run this process on any computer where Rational Synergy is installed. You must choose this computer during the primary installation.
You can run multiple object registrars per CCM_HOME location. The object registrar typically runs on each database host computer.
You must run one ESD process on any computer where you plan to run Rational Synergy engines with secure connections. ESD is applicable only if you are using it for Rational Change.
You must run one CCM server for the network Rational Synergy installation. By default, the CCM server runs on the same computer as the router. You can run additional CCM servers on other computers. Typically, you would run one CCM server on each database server.
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.
You can create Rational Synergy databases on any database server.
