Custom installation example: engine

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

  1. In the Select Features dialog box, select only Engine. Clear all other check boxes.
  2. Click Next to display the Main Windows Server Information dialog box.
  3. In the Main Windows Server field, type the name of the computer that is your Rational Synergy server.
  4. Click Next, and choose one of these options:
    • If the Rational Synergy Router Information dialog box opens, skip to 5.
    • If the Ccm Server Information dialog box opens, skip to 8.
    • If the Informix Port Information dialog box opens, the installation program has determined the router port number from the main server computer. Skip to 7.
    • 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. Skip to 11.
  5. If necessary, type the router host name and the router port number in the appropriate fields.
  6. 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.
  7. Click Next, and choose one of these options.
    • If the Ccm Server Information dialog box opens, proceed to 8.
    • If the Informix Port Information dialog box opens, skip to 8.
    • If the Start Copying Files dialog box opens, the installation program has determined the Informix port number. Skip to 11.
  8. The Ccm Server Information dialog box enables you to change the server port number. The CCM server is a Web server that serves online help for all Rational Synergy GUI sessions, both Web mode and traditional mode. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. Click Next to display the Start Copying Files dialog box.
  11. In the Start Copying Files dialog box, scroll through the Current Settings list to view your setup. If you need to 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.
  12. 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.

  13. Click Finish. The Rational Synergy engine installation is complete. Now, 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.
