Installing multiple releases onto the primary machine

About this task

You can install multiple releases onto the primary machine using the same procedure for installing on the primary machine for the first time. Select a different installation directory (ccm_home), and different port numbers for the router, ESD, CCM server, and Informix database server.

Follow the installation instructions for each new Rational Synergy installation directory. The new installation then has its own $CCM_HOME directory.

For example, suppose the primary installation is ccm71 on a Solaris platform and you want to install a test release onto /vol/sun/ccmtest on the same platform. The commands are as follows:

root@sol# mkdir /vol/sun/ccmtest
root@sol# cd /usr/local
root@sol# ln -s /vol/sun/ccmtest ccmtest
root@sol# CCM_HOME=/usr/local/ccmtest; export CCM_HOME
root@sol# PATH=$CCM_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
root@sol# cd ccmtest
root@sol# /media/ccm/unix/bin/ccm_install -x

Users can then set CCM_HOME to /usr/local/ccm71 for the primary installation, or set CCM_HOME to /usr/local/ccmtest for the test installation.

For example, to run using the primary installation, set user to ccm_root and execute the following commands:

$ su - ccm_root
Password: *****
$ CCM_HOME=/usr/local/ccm71; export CCM_HOME
$ PATH=$CCM_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH

To run using the secondary installation, set user to ccm_root and execute the following commands:

$ su - ccm_root
Password: *****
$ CCM_HOME=/usr/local/ccmtest; export CCM_HOME
$ PATH=$CCM_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
