Abstract

IBM Rational Agent Controller, Version 8.3.5

Download Description

Rational Agent Controller is a daemon process that enables client applications to launch and manage local or remote applications, and enables clients to receive application data from agents within host processes and applications.

You must install Agent Controller separately before you can use the following tools:

  • Profiling tools to profile your applications. Agent Controller must be installed on the same system as the application that you are profiling.
  • Component testing tool to run test cases. Agent Controller must be installed on the systems on which you run the test cases.
  • Tools for remote profiling and enabling Java code coverage statistic collection on the following versions of remote WebSphere® Application Server:
    • Version 8.5
    • Version 8.5 Liberty Profile
    • Version 8.0
    • Version 7.0.x
    • Version 6.1.x



What's new:
  • Support for Java 7.
  • No support of Java 1.4 and older JVM. To run profiling or code coverage on Java 1.4 JVMs (required for WebSphere Application Server 6.0), use Rational Agent Controller 8.3.4 (for Windows and Linux only).
