If you already have Rational Agent Controller
(RAC) installed, and want to check what version it is, complete the following
steps:
- Log on as root.
- 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.
- 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.
- On Solaris:
- Enter the command pkginfo -x > pkginfo.txt
- Enter the command vi pkginfo.txt
- Search for "ibmrac" (if RAC is at 5.1 or later) or "28887f2df81d126aa228a4f84b6051d5"
(if RAC is at 5.0.x).
- 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 Event 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:
- When the installation wizard displays the list of features that
you can select to install on the Product Installation page,
you must clear the selection for the IBM Rational Plugins Security feature.
If you do not disable security during RAC installation, you will be unable
to debug message flows. If you do not clear this option, you must uninstall
RAC and reinstall it with security disabled before you can use the debug functions.
- On the Java Runtime Environment page of the installation
wizard, you must specify the location of the Java runtime file (java.exe). RAC requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) as a prerequisite,
do not specify the JRE installed with WebSphere Event Broker for
this purpose, you must use an alternative JRE.
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
