Well it all depends on capacity. If your current mid tier setup has memory issues and java is being pegged on a regular basis, adding RKM will definitely not help. However, if you have the capacity, it's a solution that works. We currently have 2 mid tiers, both with RKM in a "load balanced" config. I put the "load balanced" in quotes because RKM truly is not load balanced as the second server always needs to point back to the primary because it uses the 1 shared hummingbird DB.

Hello Listers, if you have a classical 3 tier environment, where to install BMC RKM, on the MidTier Server or on the Server where AR Server is installed? Thanks in advance.
