Testing the Sync Server servlet

To ensure that the Sync Server can successfully communicate with clients, you should check the servlet. You do not need to have any clients installed in order to perform a check.

Procedure

To test the servlet on Windows:
1. Start the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server.
2. In a Web browser, go to http://yourhostname.yourdomain:8080/db2e/db2erdb. 8080 is the default HTTP port number. Substitute port 8080 with the correct port number of the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server which is listed in the Post-install summary panel which is displayed at the end of the DB2 Everyplace installation.
To test the servlet on UNIX:
1. Login as the DB2 Everyplace instance owner
2. Open a shell window and change the directory to $DSYINSTDIR/Server/bin
3. Run dsysync.sh.
4. In a Web browser, go to http://yourhostname.yourdomain:8080/db2e/db2erdb. 8080 is the default HTTP port number. Substitute port 8080 with the correct port number of the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server which is listed in the Post-install summary panel which is displayed at the end of the DB2 Everyplace installation.

You should receive the following message for both Windows and UNIX:

DB2e SyncServer <datetime string>

For the Application Server - Express that ships with DB2 Everyplace, you might receive a message in the server log files located in [DSYINSTDIR]/Server/logs/[servername] that port is already taken by another program. If you receive this message, change the port number.

The embedded Application Server - Express has been changed between DB2 Everyplace 8.1.2 and 8.1.4. The default value during installation for Server name is IBMDB2eServer. The default value during installation for the server IP address is 127.0.0.1.

To change the port number:

Windows:

cd [DSYINSTDIR]\Server\installableApps\common
[DSYINSTDIR]\WAS\bin\stopServer.bat DB2eServer
[DSYINSTDIR]\WAS\bin\wsadmin.bat -conntype NONE -f dsyConfigEmbedded.jacl
DefaultNode default_host DB2eServer 127.0.0.1 [DSYINSTDIR] [new http port] [new https port]

Linux or UNIX:

cd [DSYINSTDIR]/Server/installableApps/common
[DSYINSTDIR]/WAS/bin/stopServer.sh DB2eServer
[DSYINSTDIR]/WAS/bin/wsadmin.sh -conntype NONE -f dsyConfigEmbedded.jacl
DefaultNode default_host DB2eServer 127.0.0.1 [DSYINSTDIR] [new http port] [new https port]
