Receiving AuthenticationStrategy error executing a performance test in a schedule

Troubleshooting


Problem

Attempts to run a test in a schedule in IBM Rational Performance Tester (RPT) 8.5 results in the error "org.apache.http.client.AuthenticationStrategy".

Symptom

The playback does not start. The same test will successfully run directly (without a schedule).

Cause

Incompatible versions of HTTP client components may occur when multiple Rational products are shell shared.

Resolving The Problem

WORKAROUNDS:

  • Install RPT without shell sharing with other Rational products.

    OR

  • Install the RPT Agent on the same computer as the RPT workbench.

    OR

  • Play back using a remote agent instead of localhost.
