Settings requiring manual synchronization

Changes to the CR process, list box values, and other settings must always be made and controlled on the primary server. Then, the changes must be manually propagated to the secondary servers.

CR process

Control and edit your CR process XML file only on the main server. The process package you generate from this file must be copied from the main server to all secondary servers. Your generated process package can be found on your primary server, and must be copied to the same directory on every secondary server. For each server, install the process package with the Package Installer as normal.

For example: CHANGE_APP_HOME/WEB-INF/packages

List boxes

Control and edit your list box entries only on the main server. List box values are saved in the applicable directory. When modified, this file must be copied to the same location on every secondary server. For each secondary server, load the new list box values by selecting System Administration > General > Load.

For example: CHANGE_APP_HOME/WEB-INF/wsconfig/pt_listbox.cfg

ACLs

Control and edit your access control lists (ACLs) only on the main server. ACL definitions are saved in several files in the applicable directory.

The ACL files are Extensible Markup Language (XML) files that contain all the information required to manage read/write security. The tools to create, edit, and install these XML files are part of the Administration GUI.

You must have only one ACL file for each type installed at a time for each IBM® Rational® Change installation. For example, one file for CRs, one for tasks, and one for objects. These files are stored in the CHANGE_APP_HOME/WEB-INF/wsconfig/acl directory.

When modified, all these files must be copied to the same location on every secondary server. For each secondary server, load the new ACL definitions by selecting System Administration > General > Load. Next, go to User Management > Read-Write Security, and enable the same ACLs as on your primary server.

For example: CHANGE_APP_HOME/WEB-INF/wsconfig/acl

Other Packages

As with your CR process package, any packages installed onto the primary server must be copied to and installed on all secondary servers.

System Administration > General tab

If you modify any settings on System Administration > General of the primary server, you must apply the same changes on every secondary server.

Manual pt.cfg Settings

If you manually modify any pt.cfg settings on your primary server, you must make the same changes on every secondary server. For each secondary server, load the new pt.cfg settings values by selecting System Administration > General > Load.
