Available releases of IBM Rational Agent Controller

Product Documentation


Abstract

This document provides details about the available releases of IBM Rational Agent Controller.

Content

IBM Rational Agent Controller is a daemon that allows client applications to launch and manage local or remote applications and provides information about applications that are running to other applications.

You must install Rational Agent Controller separately on the target computer before you can use the following tools:

  • Profiling tools to profile your applications.
  • Component testing tools to run test cases.
  • Tools for remote profiling or enabling Java code coverage statistic collection on WebSphere Application Server.

In general, you should install the latest available version of Rational Agent Controller. However, you should also consider the following factors when choosing the version to install:
  • The version of WebSphere Application Server that you are using.
  • The platform on which WebSphere Application Server is installed.

    The following tables show the relationship between versions of WebSphere Application Server and the required versions of Rational Agent Controller to work with:
    • Code coverage tools
    • Profiling tools

    • Table showing required versions of Agent Controller for WebSphere Application Server for working with code coverage:

      6.0.x (uses JVM 1.4)
      • Rational Agent Controller versions 8.3.2 to 8.3.4.
      • Use Rational Agent Controller 7.x.


Notes on Rational Agent Controller compatibility
    • For detailed information on supported platforms for a specific version of Rational Agent Controller, see the installation instructions.
    • Starting with Rational Agent Controller version 8.2, in some version you have the option to install either a 32-bit or a 64-bit version of agent controller.
      • The bit version of Rational Agent Controller must be the same as the bit version of WebSphere Application Server on which it will be profiling.
      • 32-bit versions of Rational Agent Controller can run on 64-bit operating systems that are running in a mode that supports 32-bit applications.
    • Profiling interfaces (JVMPI or JVMTI) supported in WebSphere Application Server:


    • Note: Support for JVMPI and JRE 1.4 is removed from Rational Application Developer V8.5 and Rational Agent Controller V8.3.5.
      • Java Virtual Machine Profiler Interface (JVMPI): supported in WebSphere Application Server V6.0.x and V6.1.x (in V6.1,x, must select the "pre-JRE 1.5" option when profiling).
      • Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface (JVMTI): supported in WebSphere Application Server V6.1.x (you must select the "JRE 1.5 or newer" option), V7.0.x and v8.0.
    • Support for profiling and code coverage on Java 1.5 JVM has been removed from Rational Application Developer v9.5 and Rational Agent Controller v9.5.
    • Rational Agent Controller JVMs: For details on specific versions of the JREs included in a version of Rational Agent Controller, see the Installation Instructions for that version.

The following tables provide details to help you choose, download and install the versions of Rational Agent Controller appropriate for your environment.
