The following requirements are for an IBM® Rational® Synergy
session host, which runs Rational Synergy
sessions for IBM Rational Change. You can run Rational Synergy and Rational Change on the same machine. For
maximum performance, run Rational Synergy
sessions on the database server.
Hardware
The hardware requirements
for each host running a session are described in the Rational Change V5.3 releases readme.
If you expect many users for your IBM Rational Change installation, you can increase
capacity by dedicating additional Rational Synergy
session hosts. To do so later, log on to a Rational Change session using the Admin
interface. Then, change the host settings in the System Administration dialog box, in the Server tab.
Software
The software requirements for each
host running a session are as follows:
- One of the supported operating systems must be installed and operational
on the server. For information about supported platforms, see the Rational Change V5.3 releases readme.
- IBM Rational Synergy must be installed and operational.
For detailed information about installing Rational Synergy, see the "Installing" section
of the IBM Rational Synergy help.
The person installing IBM Rational Change
must be in the local Administrators group.
- You must install the Rational Synergy
server on each host on which Rational Synergy
sessions runs.
All session hosts must be able to respond to remote
execution requests using the rsh protocol on Rational Change UNIX servers, or the rexec protocol
for Windows servers to UNIX databases.- When using the rsh protocol, the rshd daemons
must be enabled.
- An alternative to rsh is the engine startup daemon
(ESD).
