Running agents on Linux, UNIX, AIX®

On Linux and UNIX systems, the agent can be launched by running the Agent script in the root of the IBM® Rational® Performance Test Server installation directory (for example, /opt/IBM/RIT-Agent).

Procedure

  1. The script can be incorporated into a system startup script to ensure that the agent is always launched when the server starts.
    Note: Temporary files are stored in /var/tmp. Ensure that the user running Rational Performance Test Server has write permissions on this directory.
  2. The Agent script runs the agent, using the default port (4476) and points to the default agent config file (config/Agent.config). If required, you can modify the script to specify a different port using the -p <port> argument, or override the location of the config file.

    For example:

    ./Agent -p 4492 -c ./config/Agent.config
