Fortify Runtime Diagnostic Tool Technical Note
Summary
The Fortify Runtime Diagnostic Tool is a command line tool that surveys and validates that an application host system meets minimum Fortify Runtime requirements and dependencies for fully functioning installation and usage. It is used as a pre-install checker and as a tool that gathers and checks important diagnostic information such as unsupported environments and manual configuration changes.
Usage
The Fortify Runtime Diagnostic Tool may be used to determine whether a specific environment supports the Fortify Runtime platform. The following environment parameters are currently being checked for compatibility:
•Operating System
•Java version
•Application Server
•IIS version (in Windows-based systems)
Please note that in case more than one Java instance is installed on the machine, the Fortify Runtime Diagnostic Tool may not be able to automatically locate the Java instance intended to run the application that is being monitored by the Fortify Runtime Platform. The command line option –j allows you to specify a specific path for the desired Java instance.
The Fortify Runtime Diagnostic Tool reports any unsupported environment parameter and may also report warnings for restrictions of some partially supported versions.
