Is it possible to install multiple versions of CLM products on the same machine?
Accepted answer
I take it that you just want to play with the functionality of different versions of CLM and you just want to use the bundled Tomcat and Derby database.
Yes, it is possible to install multiple versions of CLM products on the same machine.
In IBM Installation Manager, different versions will be installed in different package groups (for instance, IBM Collaborative Lifecycle Management, IBM Collaborative Lifecycle Management_1, IBM Collaborative Lifecycle Management_2 and so on).
Different versions will be installed in different directories (for instance, C:\IBM\JazzTeamServer4, C:\IBM\JazzTeamServer5, C:\IBM\JazzTeamServer6).
If you just start one version at a time, there will be no conflict of port.
Of course, if you are not afraid of hacking the config files, you can get 3 versions running on different ports at the same time. You can even run all three as services.

yes, you can install multiples.
I have versions 3.0.1 thru V 6.0 running at the same time. each on their own port..
I use the zip install bundle (no RM/QM function)..
unzip to the directory of choice, then before starting it, edit the
folder\server\tomcat\conf\server.xml to change the ports.
then start and go thru setup.
this is my home machine and I also have some of those ports open to outside access using my dynamic IP address registered with my dyndns.org hostname. this so I can demo different capabilities

Hi Tiffany,
You state that you only want to run one version at a time. In this case, there is no need to change the ports. Whichever version is running is what will handle the request you make when you type a url in the browser.
For instance, if you have CLM 5.0.2 and CLM 6.0 installed and 5.0.2 is running, https://localhost:9443/jts/admin
will take you to the JTS Administration page for 5.0.2. If you shutdown 5.0.2 and start 6.0, the same URL will take you to the JTS Administration page for 6.0.
I do this all the time. The only thing to be sure to remember is to shutdown one version before starting the other. If you do not, the second version will show errors in the Console and will fail to start up.
