The StreamServe core components include the following: • Applications based on the StreamServe framework (StreamServer, Archiver, Task Scheduler, and service gateway) • Management gateway • Design and administration tools, such as Design Center and Control Center You cannot run several versions of the StreamServe web applications in parallel. 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 5.6.2 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 5.6.2 and previous versions in parallel, the environments are managed separately: • The 5.6.2 StreamServe applications are managed by the 5.6.2 versions of Control Center and the management gateway. • 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 5.6.2 environment and the environment for the previous version(s) can share the same 5.6.2 StreamServe Enterprise Repository. You can also set up separate enterprise repositories for each version.
