ivt command

The ivt command starts the installation verification test (IVT) program. The IVT verifies that the installation of the application server or deployment manager profile was successful. A profile consists of files that define the runtime environment for a deployment manager or an application server. Each profile has its own IVT command.

[This information only applies to Version 6.1.0.9 and later running on the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.] Note on installing a service packs on Microsoft® Windows Vista™ and Windows 2008 operating systems: After installing WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 on your Microsoft Windows Vista operating system, you should install a service pack containing Version 6.1.0.9 or later before attempting to perform any of the following actions. If you are running Windows 2008, you must first install a service pack containing Version 6.1.0.17 or later.
  • Launching the Websphere Application Server runtime
  • Verifying the installation
  • Using the Profile Management tool or the manageprofiles command to create profiles

The IVT program starts the application server or deployment manager automatically if the server process is not already running. After the server process initializes, the IVT runs a series of verification tests and displays pass or fail status in a console window.

The IVT program scans the SystemOut.log file for errors and verifies core functionality of the profile.

You can start the IVT program from the command line or from the First steps console.
