Websphere does not start up with piAgent [message #30470] Thu, 08 September 2005 02:39 Go to next message

Hello,

I tried to profile a j2ee application in Websphere5.1 in Windows 2000 with
piagent. so I added -XrunpiAgent:server=enabled into an attribute in
process:Server -> processDefinition -> jvmEntries.genericJvmArguments (in
the file
AppServer\config\cells\<my_cell>\nodes\<my_node>\servers\ <my_server>\s
erver.xml), and restart the server from the console. but the server
actually never got start up, what I see from the console is the message
like this:

C:\Program Files\WebSphere\AppServer\bin>startServer server1
ADMU0116I: Tool information is being logged in file C:\Program
Files\WebSphere\AppServer\logs\server1\startServer.log
ADMU3100I: Reading configuration for server: server1
ADMU3200I: Server launched. Waiting for initialization status.

It always stays in the waiting status.

From the Eclipse workbench, I can see the java profile agent is running.

I know the Agent Controller is working fine, since in the same machine, I
can profile the same app in jboss.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks
John

Hi John,

It seems strange for WebSphere not to start up. Check to see if it starts
up properly when you remove the -XrunpiAgent parameter. Make sure you
have the bin directory of the Agent Controller in your PATH and make sure
that WebSphere doesn't override your PATH environment variable when you
start it up. Try profiling a simple Java application in enabled mode, if
it works then there isn't anything wrong on the TPTP side. You might also
find it useful to look into the log file of the Agent Controller located
in RA_HOME/config/servicelog.log

Hi Navid

Thanks for help. One correction: the problem that I had is in Windows XP
home edition, not in Windows 2000. Sorry about that.

Yes, if I remove –XrunpiAgent:server=enabled from the server.xml file,
then the Websphere started up properly. Regarding the path, I believe PATH
environment variable was not overridden by the Websphere since I can see
the Java Profile agent with the right PID displayed in the Eclipse profile
configuration agent screen. Beside, I can profile the jboss in the same
computer without any problem.

From RA_HOME/config/servicelog.log file, I found the following entries for
WebSphere startup:

- <CommonBaseEvent creationTime="2005-09-09T03:13:09.265000Z"

Hi John,

Unfortunately, the log records you've posted aren't very helpful for
determining your problem. What happens when you try to attach to the
profiling agent that pops up? Your problem is actually really difficult
to debug and it can be caused in a number of different ways. I'll give
you a list of how this problem can occur and I'll leave it up to you to
take the approach that makes more sense in your situation:

- As I said before, your PATH environment variable could be pointing to
the wrong piAgent.dll file. Are you using the TPTP RAC or IBM RAC? If
you're using the IBM RAC, then the dll files are all placed in your
System32 directory, which is always included in your PATH. I also still
have my doubts about WebSphere honouring the PATH environment variable
specified for the system.

- Your JDK version could be incompatible. TPTP doesn't support JDK 1.5
and it has had problems with certain JDK versions. Changing your JDK
might help.

- Try upgrading your RAC. I'd recommend using the RAC for TPTP 4.0

John,

FYI - the "TPTP RAC" referred to by Navid below is the "Technology =
Preview Agent Controller" that became available in TPTP 4.0 (but only as =
a separate download). No products have begun to use this yet to my =
knowledge, so the answer to Navid's question of which agent controller =
(RAC) you are using is the "IBM RAC". The IBM RAC, however, is simply =
referred to as the "Agent Controller" if you go to the TPTP site and =
look through the list of 4.0 downloads.

Actually, Karla, the IBM RAC I was referring to is the RAC IBM ships with
its Autonomic Computing tools. It's not open source. It has a install
shield and does some things differently than the open source RAC.

The TPTP RAC I was referring to, referred to the open source RAC that
ships with TPTP. I wasn't referring to the tech preview Agent Controller
in my messages at all.

John, can you please let us know what your problem was and how you
resolved it?
