UNIX agent machine.
¨ Use the gzip –d command to unzip the
gzipped tar file, for example gzip –d /tmp/solaris_agent.tar.gz.
¨ Create a
target directory for the install, for example /usr/rational/test.
¨ Change
directory to that directory, cd /usr/rational/test.
¨ As the
root user, untar the agent tar file into that directory, tar xvf
/tmp/solaris_agent.tar.
The Rational Test Agent is now fully installed on your Unix Agent computer.
Follow the normal procedure to start the agent. It is recorded below for your convenience.
As the root user, do the following
steps.
¨ Set the
RATL_RTHOME to the installation directory of the test agent, for example
RATL_RTHOME=/usr/rational/test.
¨ Export the
RATL_RTHOME definition using: export RATL_RTHOME.
¨ Add
RATL_RTHOME to the PATH variable using the command: PATH=$PATH:$RATL_RTHOME
¨ Export the
PATH definition using: export PATH.
¨ Change
directory to bin subdirectory of the installation using: cd $RATL_RTHOME/bin
¨ Start the
agent daemon process using: ./Rtsagt
The Rational Test Agent is now running on
your Unix Agent computer.

Note for
SQL Anywhere users on Windows 2000: To avoid problems
when connecting to a SQL Anywhere datastore, rename the file iphlpapi.dll to iphlpapi.dlx in the Rational Test
directory.
Note for
users performing API recording of Internet Explorer:
When performing an API recording of Internet Explorer, you should
disable script debugging to avoid abnormal behavior that may cause confusion
and/or failure to record a session properly. To disable script debugging, in
Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options > Advanced, Browsing
section > Disable Script Debugging.
Documentation
Correction: In
Appendix A of the Rational TestManager User's Guide, the example of
running more than 24 virtual testers on a UNIX Agent is incorrect. The correct
environment names and values are shown in bold:
...
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=4096
...
set shmsys:shminfo_shmni=1024
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=100072000
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
