Remote Agent Controller

[Vic Wilson]

I've read through several past messages but I am still having problems getting RAC to work correctly.

Here's what I'm doing.
Installed RAC on Windows serving running Websphere 5.1
Attempt to configure server on WSAD5 on Windows machine. I get an error when trying to configure the remote server.
"Cannot query remote server information:
java.lang.Exception:IWAD0260E cannot launch remote process using the
remote
agent. The Remote Agent Controller configuration file is not correct
or
there may be an error in the command line."
If I continue then when I go to publish I get an error that the ports are in use for the server. I increment the ports by 1 and do not get that error again. Instead I get
"IWAD0251E An error occurred when starting the server:
IWAD0250E Ensure that the Remote Agent Controller is started in the remote server machine and the WebSphere installation directory is correct.
Ensure that the WAS_HOME_V5 variable is set to the correct WebSphere installation directory on the remote agent controller. "

I've been through the xml file several times. Stopped and started the Agent controller several times.

I've changed the WAS_HOME_V5 variable in the config file - I've also changed the JAVA_PATH variable. It's totally possible I do not have them right.

1)Wondering if anyone has the solution???
2)Or knows of an IBM source that explains this process in detail - I can only find little snippets.
3)Maybe someone with a similar configuration could send me there config file?
4) Please don't tell me that running websphere 5.1 and wsad5 creates a problem?

Thanks!!!

So I finally got RAC working. I was using WSAD 5.0. I installed 3 fix packs. And reinstalled a newer version of RAC on the remote server.

Hopefully this answer is useful to someone else.

Could you please tell me the url of fix packs and the newer version of RAC?
Thanks a lot!

After 4 years, i found the same issue

I installed RAD 6 and updated it to latest

then I installed portal 5.1 test env

I was unable to start server1 from RAD

I had to enter these into C:\Program Files\IBM\AgentController\config\serviceconfig.xml

 
<Variable name="WAS_HOME_V5" value="C:\tools\WebSphere\AppServer" position="replace" />
 
<Variable name="WAS_HOME_V51" value="C:\tools\WebSphere\AppServer" position="replace" />
 

hope someone finds that helpful while googling!
