The ivt command starts the installation
verification test (IVT) program. The IVT verifies that the installation
of the application server profile
was successful. A profile consists of files that
define the runtime environment for an application server. Each profile has its own ivt command.
New feature: This topic
references one or more of the application server log files. Beginning
in WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0 you can configure the
server to use the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log and
trace infrastructure instead of using
SystemOut.log ,
SystemErr.log,
trace.log, and
activity.log files or native z/OS logging
facilities. If you are using HPEL, you can access all of your log
and trace information using the LogViewer command-line tool from your
server profile bin directory. See the information about using HPEL
to troubleshoot applications for more information on using HPEL.

The
IVT program starts the application server 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.
