Use the installation verification tool (IVT) to verify that the installation of the product and the application server profile is successful. A profile consists of files that define the runtime environment for an application server. Verify each profile from its First steps console with the IVT.
After installing the product and creating a profile, you are ready to use the IVT.
Use the IVT to gain assurance that the product is successfully installed. The IVT tests standalone application server profiles to make sure that the server processes can start.
The IVT program scans product log files for errors and verifies core functionality of the product installation.
The Profile Management Tool creates profiles. After creating a profile, the Profile Management Tool displays a prompt for starting the First steps console. The First steps console is unique for each profile. See firststeps command for more information.
Installation verification is the first option on the First steps console.
The test consists of starting and monitoring the application server during its start up.
The IVT tool starts the server process of a profile automatically if the server is not running. Once the server initializes, the IVT runs a series of verification tests. The tool displays pass or fail status in a console window. The tool also logs results to the profile_root/logs/ivtClient.log file. As the IVT verifies your system, the tool reports any detectable errors in the SystemOut.log file.
After installing the product and verifying the installation, you can configure the installation by creating more profiles.
You can also install other packages on the product installation image, such as IBM® HTTP server, the Web Server Plug-ins, or the Application Client.
