Java Agent for WebMethods on Linux

[Osama.Abbas]

Hello everyone,

I am in the process of installing a Java agent on Linux (RHEL8) for WebMethods. It's pretty straight forward in the documentation. However, there is a difference between the AppDynamics documentation and the WebMethods one. In AppD, it says (and I am quoting here from webMethods Startup Settings)

For webMethods servers that use the Tanuki Java service wrapper for start-up, you need to configure the agent in the wrapper.conf file. See Tanuki Service Wrapper Settings.

Yet in WebMethods documentation (My webMethods Server Webhelp)

There are some parameters that do not relate to My webMethods Server but to the JVM itself. You set custom JVM parameters in the custom_wrapper.conf file for My webMethods Server, using the following syntax:

wrapper.java.additional.n=parameter

Which configuration method is correct, and if both are correct which one is recommended?

Can the AppD documentation be updated also to include the default paths/locations to the .conf files in WebMethods?
