Does RTC 3.0 support cluster environment?

Hi.

I found the following description from RTC download site.

---quote---
WebSphere Extreme Scale - Limited Use License

The Program may include an edition of IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale (the "WXS Edition"), which is subject to the following limited use license.

Licensee is permitted to cluster up to a maximum of three (3) Jazz Team Server instances with the WXS Edition under this limited use license. For avoidance of doubt, a Jazz Team Server is designed to run with one (1) Java Virtual Machine ("JVM") instance and Licensee may run a maximum of three (3) JVM instances at any time using the WXS Edition.

Does this mean RTC 3.0 supports cluster?

If it's true, is there any information describing how to configure HOT-STANBY environment?

If it's NOT true, what does it mean? Only it is permitted but not guaranteed?

thanks in advance.

Yusuke.

Hi,

the following RTC Help topic may be useful to you:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/c_ha.html

It deals with Jazz applications and their usage in a clustered WAS configuration.

In addition to it, some Jazz.net Wiki topics deal with clustering:

https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ClmSetupWithClusteredJTS
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/DeployingJazzInCluster

I hope this can help you.

Best regards,

-Nicolas

Clustering is not possible and not supported in RTC 3.0. To be more specific, the terms you quoted actually refer to clustering of Jazz Team Server and not the Change and Configuration Management application. You may notice in the RTC license the terms refer to the fact that WXS MAY be included with RTC while in the Jazz Foundation license, it says WXS IS included.

Jazz Team Server offers cluster services for clusterable applications but at this time, none of the Rational Jazz-based applications (e.g. Change and Configuration Management, Quality Management, Requirements Management) are clusterable. If you are building on top of Jazz Team Server and want to cluster your own application, see the release notes for more information:
