You can install Rational® Agent
Controller on 64-bit z/OS® operating
systems.
Before you begin
Procedure
To install Rational Agent Controller on 64-bit z/OS operating system:
- In a UNIX System Services shell, change to the directory where you downloaded the installation files for Rational Agent Controller.
- Extract the contents of the compressed file that you downloaded.
- For 64-bit, enter the following command: unzip rac.zos.64bit.zip
The contents of the compressed file are extracted into a new subdirectory of the current directory named RACzOS64bit.
- For 64-bit operating systems, change to the RACzOS64bit subdirectory.
- Extract the contents of the .pax file:
- For 64-bit operating systems, extract the contents of the file rac.zos.64bit.pax by entering the following command: pax -r -f rac.zos.64bit.pax -pp
- Change to the jre subdirectory of the RACzOS64bit directory.
- Extract the contents of the .pax file:
- For 64-bit operating systems, extract the contents of the file rac.jre.64bit.pax by entering the following command: pax -r -f rac.jre.64bit.pax -pp
- Enter the following commands to set the environment variables
for Rational Agent Controller.
In the commands that follow, <Rational Agent Controller
directory> is the directory that you used to extract the
contents of the installation files.
- For 64-bit operating systems, enter the following command: export TPTP_AC_HOME=/<Rational Agent Controller directory>/RACzOS64bit
- For 64-bit operating systems, enter the following command: export JAVA_PROFILER_HOME=/<Rational Agent Controller directory>/RACzOS64bit/plugins/org.eclipse.tptp.javaprofiler
- export XERCESC_HOME=/usr/lpp/ixm/IBM/xml4c-5_7
- export LIBPATH=$TPTP_AC_HOME/lib:$XERCESC_HOME/lib:$JAVA_PROFILER_HOME:$LIBPATH
- export JAVA_HOME=$TPTP_AC_HOME/jre/J6.0
- export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
- Change to the <Rational Agent Controller directory>/RACzOS64bit/bin directory.
- Run the following command: ./SetConfig.sh.
The configuration program for Rational Agent
Controller starts. At the prompts, you can either press Enter to accept
the default value shown, or you can enter a different value. Tip: In most cases, you must change the value of Network access mode to ALL or CUSTOM (along with the list of clients) so that remote client computers can communicate with Rational Agent Controller.The prompts are:
- Specify the fully qualified path of "java" (e.g. /usr/java1.4/jre/bin/java): This prompt lists the JRE used by Rational Agent Controller. The default value is the JRE supplied with Rational Agent Controller (/<Rational Agent Controller directory>/RACzOS64bit/jre/J6.0/bin/java). If you want to use a different JRE, enter the path to its java file.
- Network access mode (ALL=allow any host, LOCAL=allow
only this host, CUSTOM=list of hosts): This prompt lists
the hosts that are allowed to access Rational Agent Controller. Enter one of
the following options:
- ALL (the default selection) allows any client to access Agent Controller.
- LOCAL allows only the local host to access Agent Controller.
- CUSTOM allows only a list of clients that you specify to access Agent Controller. Use a comma-separated list of host names to specify which computers can access Agent Controller.
- Security enabled. (true/false):
- The default value is false. Communication is not be encrypted and access control is limited to the defined host list.
- If you enter true, then communication is encrypted and all connections are forced to authenticate for Secure Sockets Communications. You can type a comma-separated list of users that can connect to Agent Controller. These users are required to authenticate to use the tool.
- If you enabled security in the previous step, then enter
the following command:
- extattr +ap <Rational Agent Controller directory>/lib/*
Results
To uninstall Rational Agent Controller, delete the directory where you extracted the Rational Agent Controller installation files.
