Before moving the upgraded InterChange Server system from development to
production, IBM recommends that you perform tests on every interface and every
business process in production. Consider the following items when
testing the system:
- Connectors--Test connector connectivity by starting up each
connector. Make sure that the configuration changes have been
made. In the connector log file, make sure the connector can connect to
the specified application.
- Collaborations, maps, and relationships--Start each of the
collaborations. Then, make sure you have an accurate list of all
collaborations and the test scenarios for each one. Once this list is
created, begin creating the appropriate events to test each collaboration,
map, and relationship. Be sure to test all the paths of each.
- Scripts and stored procedures--Scripts and stored procedures need to
be tested only if they were upgraded. Scripts must be modified to
contain the new directory path locations.
- Volume and performance--If past performance measurements have been
taken, take new performance measurements and compare the two to make sure that
the system is stable.
