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, if RAC is at Version 5.1 or later, enter:
lslpp -i ibmrac
or
if RAC is at Version 5.0.x, enter:lslpp -i e22643e413d203c89236cd92ef065fbc
- On HP-UX, if RAC is at Version 6.0 or later, enter:
swlist | grep IBMRAC
or
if RAC is at 5.0.x, or later, enter:swlist | grep 628282f51593896a6d94a9eee71770f5
- 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 string represents "5.1.2".
To install RAC Version 6.0.1 from the supplemental CD or
DVD supplied with WebSphere Message Broker, refer to the install.html file
supplied in the root directory of the RAC component on the CD or DVD. In addition
to the instructions in the install.html file, 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 Message 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
