Install the Pure Java Agent

This topic describes how to install the pure Java version of the DevTest Java Agent.

Note: Investigate the target environment ahead of time and ensure that it has been tested, or test it yourself. Most Java agent issues are OS or JVM-dependent, instead of application-dependent. Be sure to follow the instructions in this documentation. If that does not help, review Java Agent Troubleshooting before contacting Support.

Follow these steps:

1. Obtain the following files from the LISA_HOME\agent directory:
   • LisaAgent.jar
   • InsightAgent.jar (for all platforms other than Oracle WebLogic Server)
   • LisaAgent2.jar (for Oracle WebLogic Server)
2. Place the files anywhere on your disk that has read permissions from the Java application and is not automatically loaded in the application classpath (such as \WEB-INF\lib directories).
3. Go to the platform-specific agent installation section and follow the instructions for the platform that you are using.

   For all platforms other than Oracle WebLogic Server, you will specify an agent parameters string in the following format:

   -javaagent:<path_to_InsightAgent.jar>[=url=<broker_url>][,name=<agent_name>]
   

   For Oracle WebLogic Server, you will specify an agent parameters string in the following format:

   -javaagent:<path_to_LisaAgent2.jar>[=url=<broker_url>][,name=<agent_name>]
   

4. Start the Java application.
