Installing Rational Agent Controller on AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris

If you already have Rational Agent Controller (RAC) installed, and want to check what version it is, complete the following steps:
  1. Log on as root.
  2. On AIX enter:
    lslpp -i ibmrac
    if RAC is at 5.1 or later or
    lslpp -i e22643e413d203c89236cd92ef065fbc
    if RAC is at 5.0.x.
  3. On HP-UX enter:
    swlist | grep IBMRAC
    if RAC is at 6.0 or later or
    swlist | grep 628282f51593896a6d94a9eee71770f5
    if RAC is at 5.0.x.
  4. On Solaris:
    1. Enter the command pkginfo -x > pkginfo.txt
    2. Enter the command vi pkginfo.txt
    3. Search for "ibmrac" (if RAC is at 5.1 or later) or "28887f2df81d126aa228a4f84b6051d5" (if RAC is at 5.0.x).
    4. Find the version displayed on the line following the search string, reverse the third and fourth digits, and ignore trailing characters. For example if the version is displayed as "5.1.0.2DSP", this represents "5.1.2".

To install RAC 6.0.1 from the supplemental CD or DVD supplied with WebSphere Message Broker, refer to install.html supplied in the root directory of the RAC component on the CD or DVD. In addition to the instructions in install.html take note of the following points:

After installation, add the lib directory (for example, /usr/lpp/IBM/AgentController/lib) to the start of the appropriate environment variable before you start the broker to enable it to connect to RAC:

AIX
Add the directory to the variable LIBPATH
HP-UX
Add the directory to the variable SHLIB_PATH
Solaris
Add the directory to the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
