You must satisfy the following requirements before installing an additional Windows server.
The following instructions describe how to install an additional Windows server, which includes the compact client, engine, database server, administrative tools, and object registrar.
The main reason for installing an additional server is resource allocation. With an additional database server, databases can grow separately. For example, if your company is large, but only one group within it is using Rational Synergy, you can create one database in which all source code, documentation, and testing objects are stored. Later, when your company decides that Rational Synergy is the right tool for all your projects, you can create one database for source code, one for documentation, and another for testing. Moreover, you can use a separate server for each database.
The %windir%\System32\drivers\etc\services file must be writable and you must be logged on to
domain. %windir% is the Windows installation directory.
To install an additional Windows server:
You can unpack a database, then start a Rational Synergy session as the CM administrator. However, until you add users, including yourself, to the Rational Synergy database, you cannot use the database.
