Multiple CCM application instances on one machine?


Jim Tykal (166116) | asked Jan 04 '12, 8:59 a.m.

Does anyone have a set of requirements or best practices for deploying multiple instances of the CCM application to a single machine?
Is this possible with Tomcat, or do we need to use WAS to set up multiple instances? If using Tomcat, do we simply duplicate some of the conf folders/files with a new instance name?

Any experiences or guidance in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Happy New Year everyone!

Is this multiple CCM applications sharing a single JTS, or multiple CCM
applications each with their own JTS?

Sorry, Geoff -- I should have specified that. Shared JTS on the same server as the two CCM instances.

Is this multiple CCM applications sharing a single JTS, or multiple CCM
applications each with their own JTS?

First a caveat: I am not a deploy expert.
But with that in mind (:-), you are supposed to be able to just follow
the instructions in the on-line "Configuring the Server" topic.
In particular, you would use the instructions in the sub-topic "Changing
the port numbers for the application server" to allow multiple CCM
applications to run on a single machine.
Then in "running the setup wizard" sub-topic, you should be able to
register each of those CCM applications with the JTS.

Note: The "running the setup wizard" topic says that it will
automatically discover applications running on the same machine as the
JTS, but I'm not sure if that applies if you have multiple CCM
applications, or if you have modified the port numbers. If it doesn't
automatically find them, you should be able to use the Add Application
button to tell the JTS explicitly where they are. Let us know what
turns out to be the case.

If a deployment expert wants to chime in here with any corrections,
please do so (:-).

Cheers,
Geoff

I need to do this..(not production)

I am running  jts/ccm 4.0 on tomcat.
I need another CCM.

I used Installation manager to install another ccm instance (with no JTS).
I edited the catalina config to change the port numbers

jts/ccm1 are on 9743, ccm2 is on 9843.

I start ccm2, and the web admin config saya not registered with JTS.. exactly right..
run the jts/setup (typically server:443/jts/setup to register the new application)
ok, start  server:9743/jts/setup, it finds no new applications to register..

hm.. what step did I miss

got it.. not so hard..

do the secondary install using Installation Manager, install CCM only run the primary server jst/setup,

when it gets to register applications, it won't find the app on the other port.. so YOU have to specify the name..

https://server:port/ccm/scr and then u can register..

later the setup app will create the friends records for the 2 servers.. and all will be good. (for setup).. not as much sharing in v4 as we thought was there..
