Set the JAVA_AGENT_ROOT JVM System Property

Because the SOA Agent may not be installed in the same file system location on every system in clustered and SSO WebSphere environments, you must define a JVM system property, JAVA_AGENT_ROOT to define the installed location of the SOA Agent.

To set the JAVA_AGENT_ROOT JVM system property

  1. Open the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console.
  2. Click the following, in the order shown:

    In the navigation tree: Servers, Application Server

    In the work area: server_name, Java and Process Management, Process Definition, Java virtual Machine, Additional Properties, Custom Properties.

  3. Create a new variable in Custom Properties named JAVA_AGENT_ROOT and specify its value as the location where the SOA Agent is installed. For example, in Windows enter: 
    JAVA_AGENT_ROOT=C:\SoaSecurityManager\wasagent
  4. Save the changes in the master repository.
