Overview

Windows Vista includes security features not found in previous versions of Windows. You must adjust the security settings of this operating system to collect response time breakdown data.

The default security settings in Windows Vista do not allow for response time breakdown collection or for dynamic discovery of computers in the application. By default, the firewall blocks inbound connection attempts. You must create an inbound connection rule to allow the Agent Controller to connect to the computer.

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.

If you enable response time breakdown collection for a test and the remote computers are not running the DCI, 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.

To configure

2. Expand Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.
