Running parallel StreamServe versions

You can run StreamServe 5.6.1 in parallel with the following StreamServe versions on both UNIX and Windows:

•	OpenText StreamServe 5.6

•	StreamServe Persuasion SP5 Hotfix 1684 (or later)

It is possible to run all three versions in parallel – StreamServe 5.6.1, StreamServe 5.6, and Persuasion SP5 Hotfix 1684 (or later).

Database server supported for all versions

You must ensure that the database server is supported for all the StreamServe versions you want to run.

For information about the supported databases, see the Supported Platforms and Software documentation for each version.

StreamServe SP5 and prior versions

To run StreamServe 5.6.1 in parallel with releases previous to Persuasion SP5, you must first upgrade the installations to SP5 and apply Hotfix 1684.

Separate versions of Control Center and the management gateway

When you run 5.6.1 and previous versions in parallel, the environments are managed separately:

•	The 5.6.1 StreamServe applications are managed by the 5.6.1 versions of Control Center and the management gateway.

•	The 5.6 StreamServe applications are managed by the 5.6 versions of Control Center and the management gateway.

•	The SP5 StreamServe applications are managed by the SP5 versions of Control Center and the management gateway.

Separate management gateway ports and directories are automatically used for each version.

Shared or separate enterprise repositories

Both the 5.6.1 environment and the environment for the previous version(s) can share the same 5.6.1 StreamServe Enterprise Repository. You can also set up separate enterprise repositories for each version.
