To setup an additional Content Composer server in your environment, complete the following steps:
  1. Perform an installation of Content Composer that includes at least the Content Composer Server feature. For more information, see "Performing a Complete Installation of Content Composer" in the Content Composer Installation Guide.
    Important: Do not execute the Composer.SetupAssistant when installing an additional Composer Server.
  2. Follow the encryption instructions as described in "About RSA Encryption" in the Content Composer Installation Guide.
  3. From the initial installation, copy the following files to the %Composerdir%" directory of the additional server installation:
    • Composer.lic
    • All existing DOTM files
    • All CONFIG files
  4. On all Content Composer server installations, create a new environment variable named sharedDir and set the value to the shared directory.
    sharedDir=\\SharedFolderDnsName\SharedConfigDir
  5. To modify Composer.Core.exe.config:
    1. From the %Composerdir% directory, open Composer.Core.exe.config with a text editor that supports UTF-8.
    2. In the <appSettings> element, set the value of the keys rws_config and systemlayout_config to the shared directory.
      <appSettings>
         ...
         <add key="rws_config" value="\\SharedFolderDnsName\SharedConfigDir\repository.config" />
         <add key="systemlayout_config" value="\\SharedFolderDnsName\SharedConfigDir\systemlayout.config" />
      
    3. In the <appSettings> element, below the key EnableHylandLogging insert the new keys as in the following example and set the values of the keys userRepository, userRepository_Ldap, and userRepository_Idp to the shared directory created before.
      <appSettings>
         ...
         <add key="EnableHylandLogging" value="False" />
         <add key="userRepository" value="\\SharedFolderDnsName\SharedConfigDir\UserRepository.config" />
         <add key="userRepository_Ldap" value="\\SharedFolderDnsName\SharedConfigDir\UserRepository_ldap.config" />
         <add key="userRepository_Idp" value="\\ SharedFolderDnsName\SharedConfigDir\UserRepository_Idp.config" />
         <add key="EnableSecureContextMessageHandshake" value="false"/>
      
    4. In the <appSettings> element, set the value of the key rws_work_dir as shown in the following example.
      <appSettings>
         ...
         <add key="rws_work_dir" value="%sharedDir%\Admin\rws_work" />
    5. Save and close the file.
  6. To modify Composer.MWS.exe.config:
    1. From the %Composerdir% directory, open Composer.MWS.exe.config with a text editor that supports UTF-8.
    2. Search for the line beginning with <mws systemoid=.
    3. Replace the line with the corresponding line from the Composer.MWS.exe.config on the initial environment.
      <mws systemoid="TestSystemOID" />
    4. Save and close the file.
  7. To activate the configuration changes, in Windows Services, restart the services Composer.Core and Composer.MWS.
