Reminder: Please close IBM RAD while performing the plugin installation. If you are performing the installation from JProfiler's setup wizard, please complete the entire setup first before starting IBM RAD.
A file selector will then prompt you to locate the installation directory of IBM RAD. The installation directory must contain an eclipse directory.eclipse provides shared infrastructure for profiling plugins that allows only one active profiler at a time. If another profiler has registered itself in eclipse, JProfiler will show a collision message dialog at startup. While eclipse does not ship with any profilers, IBM RAD 6.x has an integrated profiler. The way in which eclipse selects the profiler that's bound to the "Profile" buttons is undefined. As it happens, the JProfiler plugin is selected before the integrated profiler. To get rid of the collision message that is shown at startup, please perform the following steps:
The Websphere integration wizard asks you to locate the server.xml file that contains the
configuration for your Websphere server, Finding this file can be a little difficult. If you start your search at
{RAD install directory}/runtimes/base_v6/profiles/default/config/cells/
you can locate the config file in
$CELL/nodes/$NODE/servers/$SERVER
where $CELL, $NODE and $SERVER depend on your system and the target server.
In addition, the integration wizard asks to locate a startup script named startServer.bat. That script can be found in {RAD install directory}/runtimes/base_v6/bin/.
