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. An additional database server allows databases to 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 reside. 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 could use a separate server for each database.
You must satisfy the following requirements before installing an additional Windows server.
User requirements: Member of local Administrators group
Permission to write to a local NTFS file system partition
OS requirements: See the readme file or Rational Synergy Support site
Prerequisites: You must have already installed a main Windows server.
The %windir%\System32\drivers\etc\services
file must be writable and you must be logged on to
domain. %windir% is the Windows installation directory.
