Example: custom installation of engine component

If your Rational® Synergy Server system is overloaded with too many user engine processes, you might install the Engine component on a system to be used as an additional engine server, as shown in this example.

Procedure

To install an engine as a custom installation, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Select Features dialog box, select only Engine. Clear all other check boxes, and then click Next.
  2. In the Main Windows Server field, type the name of your Rational Synergy server, and then click Next.
  3. Select one of the following options:
    • If the Rational Synergy Router Information dialog box opens, go to step 4
    • If the Ccm Server Information dialog box opens, go to step 7.
    • If the Informix Port Information dialog box opens, the installation program has determined the router port number from the main server computer. Go to step 6
    • If the Start Copying Files dialog box opens, the installation program has determined the router port number from the main server computer, and has also determined the Informix port number. Go to step 10
  4. If necessary, type the router host name and the router port number in the appropriate fields.
  5. By default, the port number that the Rational Synergy router uses is 5412. The port number must be the same as the port number specified on the router computer. By default, the router computer is the main server.
  6. Click Next, and choose one of these options.
    • If the Ccm Server Information dialog box opens, go to step 8.
    • If the Informix Port Information dialog box opens, go to step 8.
    • If the Start Copying Files dialog box opens, the installation program has determined the Informix port number. Go to step 10.
  7. You can change the server port number with the Ccm Server Information dialog box. The CCM server is a web server that serves Rational Synergy sessions. Rational Synergy requires a primary server, which runs on the router host system. If the default server port number (8400) is already in use, change the port number in the Server port field. If you are not certain that port number 8400 is available, look in your Services file, which is located in the %windir%\System32\drivers\etc\services directory. For more information, see Services file.
  8. Click Next to display the Informix Information dialog box. In the Informix Information dialog box, if the default port number that Informix® uses (1526) is already in use, type a different port number in the Informix port field. If you are not certain that port number 1526 is available, look in your Services file, which is located in the %windir%\System32\drivers\etc\services directory. For more information, see Services file.
  9. Click Next to display the Start Copying Files dialog box.
  10. In the Start Copying Files dialog box, scroll through the Current Settings list to view your setup. If you must change any settings, click Back until you arrive at the dialog box where you need to make the change. After you make the change, click Next until you return to the Start Copying Files dialog box.
  11. Click Next.

    A progress indicator window presents the progress of the installation.

    When the files have been loaded, the Installation Program Wizard Complete dialog box opens.

  12. Click Finish.

Results

The Rational Synergy engine installation is complete. You can run this computer as the engine locally, or use it as an engine server for multiple users running Rational Synergy clients on other computers.
