Running QDS on separate server

[DavidFoster1]

Is it possible to run the QDS service on a separate server with just the Enterprise license?

[ramoncova06]

Yes, you can run that service in a different server with just the enterprise license

you only need the clustering license, when you are adding another QVS server into the mix

[DavidFoster1]

In QMC do you just add another server, but make sure it does not have the server service running?

[Peter_Cammaert]

Well, almost. On each platform, you install just the services you need (QDS+DSC, QVS+QVWS+DSC+QMS). Then you add/modify the services in each category of the QMC to point to the correct platform.

There is some folder sharing to do as well.

[ramoncova06]

do you already have one QDS ?

QMC > setup > distribution services

click on the + on the top right hand and you can add it

[DavidFoster1]

IIRC that option in QMC is not available without a publisher license. Have I got that wrong?

[DavidFoster1]

My QMC does not have a category for QDS?

[ramoncova06]

you got it wrong the pic is from a UAT environment and we do not have publisher in our UAT

[Peter_Cammaert]

Sorry, I wasted your time. The split is not QVS-version dependent, but it requires Publisher to be installed. A SBE with Publisher can have split installs too.

Why QDS not visible?
