Rational® Synergy
requires a dedicated TCP port for its router service.
Procedure
- To
reserve a dedicated port, add a Rational Synergy
router service entry to the /etc/services file
or its NIS equivalent. You must edit the services file
as user root.
The router service
entry in the /etc/services file has the following
syntax:
router_service router_port/tcp
# commentThe optimal /etc/services router
service entry is:
ccm7.2x_router 5412/tcp # Rational Synergy router port
The first column is the service name, which must be ccm7.2x_router.
The second column starts with the port number, which can be any deallocated,
unreserved port. On most systems, port numbers in the range of 0 to
1023 are reserved (privileged). If port 5412 is not in use, use it
because it is reserved for Rational Synergy
by the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA).
- Record the following information on the worksheet at Preparing for the installation:
- Router service host name in item 10. (the default is your system_name)
- Unique router service name.
- Unique router service port number in item 13.
You need this information during installation.
If you do not have a dedicated port defined when you install Rational Synergy, the installation
program prompts you to choose one.
Note: For heterogeneous
installations, you need only one Rational Synergy
router process if the ccm_home/etc directory
is linked to a single location. Even so, you must have separate Rational Synergy router processes
for separate releases and for separate networks. You can also run
the router on a Windows computer.
