Installing WASTT

Install WASTT on all computers running WebSphere Application Server whose transactions you want to track.

Before you begin

WASTT is included in the Transaction Tracking V7.1.0.2 and later packages and is installed using a separate installer. The installer is named wastt-operating system-bits-vbuildnumber.

For information about obtaining the latest version, see the Download information on the ITCAM for Transactions Information Center.

WASTT contains the following components:

TTARM - Transaction Tracking ARM implementation.
TTAPI4J -Transaction Tracking API for Java™.
Default XML files for common configuration. The same versions are distributed with the Transaction Collector.
A WebSphere Application Server wsadmin configuration script.

For each platform, there is an installer that includes the 32-bit version native libraries, and an installer that includes 64-bit version native libraries. The configuration script sets the library path of the WebSphere Application Server to the relevant location.

Ensure that you have read and understood the prerequisites information described in Preparing WebSphere Application Server Transaction Tracking (WASTT).
