Running the Installation Verification Test from a command line

Before you begin

The Application Server must be running.

Why and when to perform this task

Follow these steps to run the Installation Verification Test from a command line.

Steps for this task

  1. Verify that the Application Server is running.

    Note: The IVT will end unsuccessfully if the Application Server is not running.

  2. Confirm that the ivtApp application is installed and started.
  3. From a command line, navigate to the /WebSphere/V5R0M0/AppServer/bin directory.
  4. Issue the following command:
    ivt.sh [-p port_number] [-host host_name]
    where
    • -p port_number is an optional argument that specifies your port number. If you do not specify a port number, the program will use the default port number value of 9080.
    • -host host_name is an optional argument that specifies your host name. If you do not specify a host name, the program will use the host name value that is set in your TCP/IP hosts file.

    Example:

    /WebSphere/V5R0M0/AppServer/bin> ivt.sh -p 9090 -host myhost

Results

The IVT will run, producing a series of verification tests and reporting pass or fail status in the messages generated by the BBOWIVT job. It will also log results to the install_root\logs\ivt.log file.

Note: After command line initialization, the IVT runs its series of verification tests and reports pass or fail status for each. Once it finishes, check the results in the install_root/logs/ivt.log file.
