Engineering Test Management clustered environment

You can set up a clustered environment to host a Jazz® Team Server and multiple Engineering Test Management IBM® WebSphere® Liberty nodes.

The Engineering Test Management application must be installed on multiple WebSphere Liberty server and connected by using an MQTT broker, which enables synchronization across the nodes. A load balancer is used as a front-end URL, which accepts connections and distributes the requests to one of the back-end Engineering Test Management nodes. The host name of the load balancer is used as public URL for the Engineering Test Management applications during setup. The distributed cache micro-service (DCM) invalidates cache entries across the cluster nodes.

The following diagram illustrates the approach to clustering.

To install the Quality Management applications in a clustered environment, continue with the Interactive guide: Installing Engineering Lifecycle Management using Custom mode.
