Configuring the RSCM Server

This topic describes how to configure the RSCM Server.

When you configure the RSCM Server the first time, a directory called iCDB appears in the WDIR directory. This directory contains the configuration files as well as log files for the client/server operations. The configuration file for the RSCM Server is Launcher.cfg.

Prerequisites

You must be logged in as root to configure the RSCM Server.

Note: If you are not logged in as root, you can view installed servers in the RSCM Configurator, but most of the commands are disabled and the status bar in the bottom-right of the window shows NON-ADMIN.

Procedure

Open the RSCM Configurator:
- Windows: Start > All Programs > PADS <version> > System Tools > RSCM Configurator <version>
- Windows Command: \<mgc_home>\<release>\SDD_HOME\common\<OS>\bin\iCDBRSCMConfigurator.exe
Install the iCDBNetLauncher service/process with Management > Install.
In the Add RSCM dialog box, browse to the location of the SDD_HOME directory for the install.
Verify that the default port is acceptable.
Click the Browse button next to the Writable WDIR field and select the WDIR directory.
Note: The writable WDIR must be on the local file system because you are logged in as root and are unlikely to have permissions on a remote file system.
Select the This account radio button and enter the account name and password of the user account that you will run the service under.
Note: While you must configure the RSCM Server as root, you should run the RSCM Server under a user account to make sure you have full permissions across the concurrent design network environment.
Click OK.
Start the RSCM Server with Management > Start.

Results

The RSCM Server is configured to host concurrent design projects. If the projects that the RSCM Server will host were created with different versions of software, then you need to install the matching RSCM Server version for each project version. See Related Topics section.

You can start, stop, restart, and uninstall the RSCM Server in the RSCM Configurator as necessary.

Edit any settings with Management > Edit.
