Error description
SYMPTOMS Library Manager does nothing when launched although on Windows, LibConfig.exe is running in the background. Rational Integration Tester displays the splash screen and goes no further.ᄊ On Windows GHTester.exe is running in the background. CAUSE Values for system environment variables listed below are preventing Java executing correctly: IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS JAVA_OPTIONS JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS This is because they cause RIT to run against the wrong JVM
Local fix
1. Unset these variables on the system 2. Create scripts/BAT files for LibConfig and RIT that clear these variables and launch the executables.
Problem summary
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
Comments
If any of the following environment variables are set when Rational Integration Tester or Library Manager is run, then problems may occur: IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS _JAVA_OPTIONS JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS When launching Rational Integration Tester, the splash screen appears but the project selector never displays. Library Manager simply does not appear. This causes a problem during installations where Library Manager must be run. In version 8.6.0 of Rational Integration Tester (and the RTVS Agent) the Library Manager launch batch files used during installation have been changed to clear these environment variables before attempting to launch Library Manager. This prevents the installation from failing to complete. Additionally, a new script named GHTester.bat is now included in the installation, which clears these variables before launching Rational Integration Tester. LibConfigInstall.bat can be used to clear the variables before running Library Manager.
