C/ALM integration quesiton
Hello,
According to the following documentation in info center, it states that to prepare integration with RTC, RRC and RQM, these servers need to run on machine with different host name and ip address:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rtc/v2r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.help.common.jazz.calm.doc/topics/c_prepare_calm_integrations.html
Does it mean they can not be installed into one single machine, configured to run with different port if they need to be integrated with each other? If so, any particular reason why they need to be installed into different machine? One of my client is looking to set them up into one single Window server, and integrate them in the future, is that doable?
He also wants to integrate RQM with their CQ servers...but these two servers are located in different physical locations (like CQ server in Chicago, and RQM in RQM in Bay Pines, FL.) will that raise network performance issue after these two servers are integrated? Thanks for any response in advanced.

According to the following documentation in info center, it states
that to prepare integration with RTC, RRC and RQM, these servers need
to run on machine with different host name and ip address:

future, is that doable?
The technical issue here is that the host name is the same for RTC, RQM
and RRC and only the port number is different. The cookies are set for a
host, so they will conflict (e.g. RQM gets RTC's session cookie etc.)
You could have different virtual machines on one server to work around
the problem.
Another approach that could work is to configure the DNS to resolve
different host names to the same IP address (I am just guessing here,
but it works locally by modifying the /etc/hosts file).
