Running parallel installations

You can install StreamServe 5.6 in parallel with StreamServe Persuasion SP5 Hotfix 1684 or later on both UNIX and Windows.

To run StreamServe 5.6 in parallel with StreamServe Persuasion releases previous to SP5, you must first upgrade the installations to SP5 and apply Hotfix 1684.

You must ensure the database server is supported for both StreamServe 5.6 and Persuasion SP5. For more information about the supported databases, see the Supported Platforms and Software documentation in both versions.

Separately handled environments

When you run 5.6 and SP5 in parallel, the environments are managed separately:

•	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 5.6 and SP5.

Both the 5.6 environment and the SP5 environment share the same 5.6 StreamServe Enterprise Repository. To share enterprise repository, you must upgrade the SP5 enterprise repository to 5.6. For more information, see Installing StreamServe 5.6 in parallel with SP5 Hotfix 1684.
