Multiple Technology Systems

[pankaj.puranik]

Here is an excerpt from the IBM documentation about scaling a CMOD system.

1. Single technology systems: The Content Manager OnDemand instance
consists of systems that are of the same architecture. For example, all
systems might be AIX systems.

2. Multiple technology systems: The Content Manager OnDemand instance
might consist of systems of different architectures. For example, the library
server and an object server might be on a z/OS system, two other object
servers might be on AIX systems, and another object server might be on a
Windows system.

Specific to 'Multiple Technology systems', I was unable to find any compatibility matrix that would tell me what combination of technology systems can I use. For example, can I use a Linux Library server with an i series Object server.
Do anyone have any pointers?

Cheers
Pankaj.

As long as you're at the same version/code level, all multiplatforms systems are supposed to be compatible and interoperable.

I've got many customers with a mix of platforms... PDF indexing on Windows, load servers on Linux, CMOD servers on AIX, and ODWEK running on Solaris.  Not all at once, but you get the idea.

Here's a link to a document with some information related to OnDemand for iSeries connecting to another platform:

That might help.

As far as I know, no matrix like that exists.

However - someone correct me if I'm wrong - I have never heard of any combination not working.

Everything just flows over TCP/IP, and no platform has knowledge of what the target platform is actually running.
