Learn how to administer settings in HCL Launch elements and communication between the elements.
You can configure clustered HCL Launch servers, and agents for high availability. You can also configure agents and agent relays for failover.
To configure a high-availability cluster, you store shared files on network storage. Then, you configure multiple servers, set each server to access the same files and database, and configure a load balancer to distribute the traffic between the servers.
You can add cold standby servers to serve as a backup server or for disaster recovery. You must start the secondary server or servers when the active server fails, and network traffic is routed to the secondary servers.
You can back up and recover the contents of your HCL Launch installation.
After you install HCL Launch, you can modify the server configuration and configure more options.
Each user can specify display options for the server, including the language for the server and how the server shows times and dates.
After you install an agent for HCL Launch, you can modify its configuration or create an agent relay to facilitate communication to remote relays.
HCL Launch provides a 60-day license-free evaluation period. To use all product features after the evaluation period, you must have a license.
HCL Launch includes a wizard to help users become familiar with the procedures and steps in creating a deployment. Some configuration is required before the wizard can be used.
Customize a table view in the HCL Launch application by hiding or showing, and reordering of the table columns.
You can migrate your Codestation artifacts from filesystem to S3 using the S3 migrator tool.
You can move the CodeStation artifacts to a different location on the server.
Agent relays can cache downloaded artifacts. Caching artifacts in this way improves performance because agents retrieve artifacts from agent relays instead of from the server.
After you upgrade to HCL Launch 7.0.5 and later, you can compress the amount of large object (LOB) storage space that HCL Launch uses in the vc_persistent_record database table.
The csorphanscan tool scans for orphaned Codestation blob files and relocates them to an orphan’s directory.
This section gives details about how you can manage your data in HCL Launch.
