To troubleshoot the Rational® Build
Agent, try these procedures:
- Run bfagent from a shell. The correct response is similar
to this message:
200 HELLO - Build Forge Agent v7.0.1.122
If
you receive a message similar to the example and there are shared
library problems, you will receive messages regarding those problems.
You can resolve most shared library problems by setting the path correctly.
- Check that the agent is listening. Use the following command (assuming
that the port is the default, 5555):
telnet localhost 5555
A
200 HELLO response indicates that the agent is listening. If you do
not get this response, check your systems network configuration. Verify
that the inetd configuration is correct, or check with your
system administrator.
- Check authentication. Issue the following commands, using your
login credentials:
telnet localhost 5555
username <user name>
password <password>
cmd ping
go
A message similar to the following message indicates
that the authentication is working correctly: AUTH: set user account to <user name>
