Installing Rational Agent Controller on Windows

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 an administrator.
  2. Find RAServer.exe in the bin directory of the Agent Controller installation.
  3. Right-click and select Properties.
  4. Select the Version tab.
  5. The version is listed as "File version". For example, if you already have the required version, this is displayed as 6.0.1. (For most versions, the "Product Version" under "Other information" has the same value.)

Stopping and starting the Rational Agent Controller service

When you have successfully installed Rational Agent Controller, the Rational Agent Controller service is started automatically on Windows. You can stop and start the service using the Services window. You are strongly recommended to change the Startup type from Automatic to Manual. If you do not use the flow debugger, stop the Rational Agent Controller service.
