IBM Agent Controller is a daemon process that provides the mechanism by which client applications either launch new host processes, or attach to agents that coexist within existing host processes. WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker uses Agent Controller to provide debugging facilities for message flows deployed to a running broker. Other IBM products might also use Agent Controller for services.
If you are debugging an execution
group locally, you must install Agent Controller on the local system before you can use the
flow debugger. If you are debugging an execution group remotely, you must
install Agent Controller on
the remote system on which your broker is running. Also, the Agent Controller component
installed on the broker must have TCP/IP connectivity to the system the Message Brokers Toolkit is running on to allow it to communicate
with the Agent Controller client
which is embedded in the Message Brokers Toolkit.
