RSCM Coordinator Mode

Use RSCM Coordinator mode when more than one version of RSCM Server is installed. It can be enabled or disabled only when multi-release support is enabled.

RSCM Coordinator mode is designed to administer connections to all installed RSCM Servers that are added under its management. It redirects connections to the appropriate RSCM Server that is compatible with the client requesting the connection.

Prior to the VX.2.2 release, to connect to a specific RSCM Server, users needed to specify the RSCM Server address and the port on which was running. In release VX.2.2 and higher, if RSCM Coordinator mode is enabled and other RSCM Servers are added under its management, users who work on different versions need only specify the RSCM Coordinator address and port. The RSCM Server that is in Coordinator mode will redirect connections to the proper services.

Examples

Table 1.
Configured RSCM Servers on Machine1:
MGC.SDD.RSCM.EEVX.2.2 on port 9000 – set as Coordinator
MGC.SDD.RSCM.PADSVX.2.2 on port 9001 – added to coordinator
MGC.SDD.RSCM.EEVX.1.2 on port 9002 – added to coordinator
MGC.SDD.RSCM.EEVX.7.9.4 on port 9003 – not added to coordinator

Table 2.
Prior to release VX.2.2:
EEVX.2.2 projects - Machine1
PADS projects - Machine1:9001
EEVX.1.2 projects - Machine1:9002
EE.7.9.4 projects - Machine1:9003

Note:

Port 9000 is the default, therefore it does not need to be added.

In Table 3, the PADS and EEVX.1.2 RSCM Servers are under RSCM Coordinator management, which redirects the connections for PADS and EEVX.1.2 to the proper ports. The EE7.9.4 RSCM Server is not managed by the RSCM Coordinator, and thus requires the port setting to be specified.

Table 3.
Release VX.2.2 (and higher):
EEVX.2.2 projects - Machine1
PADS projects - Machine1
EEVX.1.2 projects - Machine1
EE.7.9.4 projects - Machine1:9003
