Number of Peak Usersmore than 200Recommended Configuration64-bit, quad-core systems with 8-16GB of memoryFor the Message Broker, the number of peak users is typically lower than the number of peak users connectedto the StarTeam server since multiple Message Brokers are used in medium-to-large deployments.The numberof peak users connected to a Cache Agent is significantly lower because Cache Agents are only used in shortbursts. As a result, less hardware resources are typically required to support the Message Broker and CacheAgent compared to the StarTeam Server. Moreover, for a given geographic location, the Message Broker andCache Agent are typically deployed on the same machine.StarTeamMPX ConfigurationsWhere you install StarTeamMPX components depends on your user distribution, networks, and purposes.See the StarTeamMPX Administrator’s Guide which is available on the Borland StarTeam ➤ StarTeamServer 2009 ➤ Documentation menu for more information about configuring StarTeamMPX.Installing StarTeamMPX OverviewStarTeamMPX Message Broker and Cache Agent are installed separately from StarTeam Server. Installationinstructions for each of these products is included in the following sections.Important: You must specify which VM to use when you install StarTeamMPX Message Broker andCache Agent on non-Windows operating systems since the installers are Java based, and are not bundledwith a VM.For example: ./mpxserver.bin LAX_VM /usr/java/latest/jre/bin/javaStarTeamMPX Event and File Transmitters are automatically installed with the StarTeam Server in case youwill use them at some point in time. The next section discusses generating transmitter XML files.Note: The Event Transmitter is included with the standard Enterprise license.You must have a StarTeamEnterprise Advantage license to use the File Transmitter.Access the StarTeamMPX Setup program for Message Broker and Cache Agent from the StarTeam InstallationDVD. You must install StarTeam Server before you can install StarTeamMPX.For more information about StarTeamMPX, see the StarTeamMPX Administrator’s Guide.Generating Transmitter XML FilesWhen the transmitters are installed as part of a StarTeam Server installation, the transmitter template files(MPXEventTransmitterTemplate.xml and MPXFileTransmitterTemplate.xml) are installed in the EventServicesfolder, a subfolder of the server’s installation folder.When existing configurations are in place at the time of the installation, a configuration-specific set of transmitterXML files is created automatically for each existing configuration. The configuration-specific XML files(MPXEventTransmitter.xml and MPXFileTransmitter.xml) are created by copying the XML templatefiles to a configuration-specific subfolder of the EventServices folder. For example, the StarDraw sample serverconfiguration’s existence results in a subfolder of the EventServices folder named StarDraw.When a new configuration is defined, a set of configuration-specific XML files may be generated automaticallydepending on how the configuration is created:Installing StarTeamMPX on Windows | 55
