Microsoft
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 include security
features that are not in previous versions of Windows. You
must adjust the security settings of these operating systems to collect response time breakdown
data. The default security settings do not allow response time breakdown collection. By default, the
firewall blocks inbound connection attempts. You must create an inbound connection rule to allow the
IBM® Rational® Performance Tester
Agent to connect to the computer.
Before you begin
To collect response time breakdown,
the data collection infrastructure must be installed, configured,
and running on all computers that are used in the distributed application
under test. To learn how to install the data collection infrastructure,
see the installation guide. If you enable
response time breakdown collection for a test and the remote computers
are not running the data collection infrastructure, the following
error is displayed: IWAY0159E The data collection infrastructure
does not appear to be running on hostname. Please
ensure that it is running and try again.
