If you already have Rational Agent Controller
(RAC) installed, and want to check what version it is, complete the following
steps:
- Log on as root.
- On Solaris:
- Enter the command pkginfo -x > pkginfo.txt
- Enter the command vi pkginfo.txt
- Search for "ibmrac" (if RAC is at 5.1 or later) or "28887f2df81d126aa228a4f84b6051d5"
(if RAC is at 5.0.x).
- Find the version displayed on the line following the search string, reverse
the third and fourth digits, and ignore trailing characters. For example if
the version is displayed as "5.1.0.2DSP", this represents "5.1.2".
- On HP-UX enter:
swlist | grep IBMRAC
if RAC is at
6.0 or later or swlist | grep 628282f51593896a6d94a9eee71770f5
if
RAC is at 5.0.x.
- On AIX enter:
lslpp -i ibmrac
if RAC is at 5.1 or
later or lslpp -i e22643e413d203c89236cd92ef065fbc
if
RAC is at 5.0.x.

To install RAC 6.0.1 from the supplemental CD or DVD supplied
with
WebSphere Message Broker, refer to
install.html supplied
in the root directory of the RAC component on the CD or DVD. In addition to
the instructions in
install.html take note of the following
points:
- On the Java Runtime Environment page of the installation
wizard, you must specify the location of the Java runtime file (java.exe). RAC requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) as a prerequisite,
do not specify the JRE installed with WebSphere Message Broker for
this purpose, you must use an alternative JRE.
- On the Security page of the installation
wizard, specify whether RAC will require encrypted and authenticated communications.
If security is disabled, only the host list is used to control access to RAC.
If security is enabled, clients are only able to connect to RAC
if they contain the necessary certificates to authenticate RAC for Secure
Socket Communications. Also, all clients are required to login to RAC for
debugging broker flows.
