Testing the Advanced Edition client installation

After installing the Advanced Edition application client, test that your installation was successful prior to installing enterprise services on the client. Complete the following steps to test your Advanced Edition client installation:

  1. On your server machine, start the WebSphere application server:
    • Windows: Select Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere > Application Server V4.0 > Start Application Server.
    • UNIX: At a command prompt, change to the WAS_HOME/bin directory then run the following command:
      ./startupServer.sh 
  2. On your server machine, start the administrative console:
    • Windows: Select Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere > Application Server V4.0 > Administrator's Console.
    • UNIX: Change to the WAS_HOME/bin directory and run the following command:

      ./adminclient.sh

  3. In the administrative console, select Nodes > your_host > Application Server > Default Server. If the Execution State is Stop, click the drop-down menu and select Start.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Ensure that your Web server is running.
  6. On your client machine, open a command window.
  7. Enter the following command (all one line):
    ./launchClient.sh WAS_HOME/AppClient/WSsamples/Client/J2EE/Hello/HelloJ2EESample.ear -CCBootstrapHost=hostname

    where hostname = the hostname of your WebSphere default server.

You should see output ending with "Hello Client ran successfully".

Having confirmed that your Advanced Edition J2EE client is successfully installed, you can now install enterprise services on this client.
