Installing multiple releases onto the primary computer

About this task

To install multiple releases onto the primary computer, follow the same steps for installing on the primary computer for the first time. However, select a different installation directory (ccm_home), and different port numbers for the router, ESD, CCM server, and Informix® database server.

Follow the installation instructions for each new Rational® Synergy installation directory. The new installation then has its own $CCM_HOME directory.

Example

Assume that the primary installation is ccm72 on an Oracle Solaris platform and you want to install a test release onto /vol/sun/ccmtest on the same platform. The commands are as follows:

root@sol# mkdir /vol/sun/ccmtest
root@sol# cd /usr/local
root@sol# ln -s /vol/sun/ccmtest ccmtest
root@sol# CCM_HOME=/usr/local/ccmtest; export CCM_HOME
root@sol# PATH=$CCM_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
root@sol# cd ccmtest
root@sol# /media/ccm/unix/bin/ccm_install -x

Users can then set CCM_HOME to /usr/local/ccm72 for the primary installation, or set CCM_HOME to /usr/local/ccmtest for the test installation.

For example, to run by using the primary installation, set user to ccm_root and run the following commands:

$ su - ccm_root
Password: *****
$ CCM_HOME=/usr/local/ccm72; export CCM_HOME
$ PATH=$CCM_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH

To run by using the secondary installation, set user to ccm_root and run the following commands:

$ su - ccm_root
Password: *****
$ CCM_HOME=/usr/local/ccmtest; export CCM_HOME
$ PATH=$CCM_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
