Preparing for Rational Statemate installation : Configuration components : Project management daemon (stmlockman)

Project management daemon (stmlockman)

To control access to pm.dat, Rational Statemate uses a Windows service or a UNIX daemon called stmlockman, which must run at all times. The stmlockman daemon serializes access to pm.dat and prevents conflicting write requests from corrupting the file.

All Rational Statemate hosts must connect to stmlockman through a TCP/IP port. By default, stmlockman listens on port 54321.

The name of the server that runs stmlockman is stored in the text file stmlockman.host. By default, this file is in the same directory that is assigned to the environment variable PMDB_NAME. You can point to an alternative location by setting the environment variable STM_LOCKMAN_HOST_PATH.
