After installing and configuring WebSphere® Application
Server, verify that the product performs as desired.
About this task
You can verify your product installation by invoking a verification
script or by invoking example browser-based applications.
Procedure
- Run the install verification script.
One
way to verify the installation of the product is to call the ivt script
from Qshell.
- On the Control Language (CL) command line, run the Start
Qshell (STRQSH) command.
- From the Qshell prompt, run the ivt command
to verify the internal HTTP instance:
app_server_root/bin/ivt server1 default
If the script runs successfully, the following message
is displayed. Note that this example is for WebSphere Application
Server.
Server name is:server1
Profile name is:default
Profile home is:profile_root
Profile type is:default
Cell name is:MYISERIESCell
Node name is:MYISERIES
Current encoding is:ISO8859_1
Server port number is:9080
IVTL0015I: WebSphere Application Server MYISERIES is running on port 9080 for profile default
IVTL0010I: Connecting to the WebSphere Application Server MYISERIES on port: 9080
IVTL0015I: WebSphere Application Server MYISERIES is running on port 9080 for profile default
IVTL0015I: WebSphere Application Server MYISERIES is running on port 9080 for profile default
Testing server using the following URL:http://MYISERIES:9080/ivt/ivtserver?par m2=ivtservlet
IVTL0050I: Servlet Engine Verification Status - Passed
Testing server using the following URL:http://MYISERIES:9080/ivt/ivtserver?par m2=ivtAddition.jsp
IVTL0055I: JSP Verification Status - Passed
Testing server using the following URL:http://MYISERIES:9080/ivt/ivtserver?par m2=ivtejb
IVTL0060I: EJB Verification Status - Passed
IVTL0035I: Scanning the file
profile_root/logs/server1/SystemOut.log for errors and warnings
IVTL0040I: 0 errors/warnings were detected in the file
profile_root/logs/server1/SystemOut.log
IVTL0080I: Installation Verification is complete
- Run a Sample application.
To call an example
browser-based application to verify the installation, perform the
following steps:
- If the application server is not already running, see Starting WebSphere Application Server on IBM i.
- Verify the internal HTTP transport.
Open
the following Web address in your browser. The URL is case-sensitive.
Also, the capitalization must be consistent.
http://your_server_name:9080/hitcount
The your_server_name variable
is the name of your iSeries® server. Port 9080 is
the default internal HTTP port.
The panel that is displayed
has the bold title "Hit Count Demonstration." If you see something
similar, WebSphere Application Server is set up
successfully to run using the internal HTTP server.
- Verify the external HTTP server
Open
the following Web address in a browser. The URL is case-sensitive.
Also, the capitalization must be consistent.
http://your_server_name:80/HitCount.jsp
The your_server_name variable
is the name of your IBM® i server.
Port 80 is the default port for the application server external HTTP
server. If your HTTP server instance uses a different port, specify
the appropriate port number.
The panel that is displayed has
the bold title "Hit Count Demonstration." If you see something similar, WebSphere Application Server is set up
successfully to run using the configured Web server.
You can also run sample Web applications that are included
with WebSphere Application Server. For information
about running the sample applications, see Installing and accessing the Samples Gallery on IBM i.
- Run the installver command. See Verifying checksums of installed files.
Results
If the verification indicates that WebSphere Application
Server runs as desired, you do not need to perform additional steps.
