A custom installation is intended for use by advanced users
only. If you do not know which components go together, use the prepackaged
options from the Installation Type dialog box.
Before you begin
You must satisfy the following conditions
before you can perform a custom installation.
- User requirements
- Administrator privileges to install all components except the
compact client
- Permission to write to a local NTFS file system partition to install
the
main and additional Windows servers
- Permission to write to a local partition for all components
- Active Directory user
- OS requirements
- See the Readme file.
- Other prerequisites
- The %windir%\System32\drivers\etc\services file
must be writable to install all components except the compact client. %windir% is
the Windows installation
directory.
- You must be logged on to a domain to install any components, except
the compact client.
Note: In order to install a Windows Server, you must be licensed to use Rational® Synergy on Informix®.
About this task
You
can install only one main server per installation site.
You
can install the compact client on a domain, workgroup, or local computer.
Procedure
- Log on to the Windows domain, as appropriate.
- Start the Rational Synergy
installer.
- If you are installing from a DVD, insert the DVD that contains
the Rational Synergy Windows Server in the DVD drive.
On the Windows taskbar, right-click Start to
display a menu. Click Explore to open Windows Explorer. Navigate to DVD_drive:\win_servers\synergy_server,
and double-click setup.exe to display the Welcome dialog
box.
- If you are installing from a download, double-click synergy72.exe to
display the Welcome dialog box.
- Click Next. In the User
License Agreement dialog box, review and agree to the terms
of the license agreement.
- Click Next. In the Setup
Type dialog box, click Custom.
- Click Next. The Select
Features dialog box opens.
- Select the options to install. The installation
dependencies are designated by a hierarchy listing; in other words,
logical installation pieces are grouped for you.
- Clear
the components that you do not want to install. Compare the required
space with the space available to ensure that you have enough room
to install the components.
Be sure that
you understand your combination of options to avoid installing unnecessary
components.
What to do next
Alternatively, if your Rational Synergy Server system is overloaded
with too many user engine processes, you might install the Engine
component on a system to be used as an additional engine server. See Example: custom installation of engine component.
