Running the installation verification test from a command line

You can run the installation verification test (IVT) to get reports on pass or fail status for each in the messages generated by the BBOWIVT job.

Before you begin

The application server must be running when you initiate the test.

About this task

Follow these steps to run the installation verification test (IVT) from a command line.

Procedure

  1. Verify that the application server is running.
  2. Confirm that the ivtApp application is installed and started.
  3. From a command line, navigate to the WAS_HOME/bin directory.
  4. Issue the following command:
    ivt.sh server_name profile_name -p port_number [-host host_name]
    where
    • server_name is the short name of the server.
    • profile_name is the name of the profile.
    • -p port_number is an argument that specifies the port number.
    • -host host_name is an optional argument that specifies the host name. If you do not specify a host name, the program will use the host-name value that is set in your TCP/IP hosts file.
    Example:
    /WebSphere/V6R0/AppServer/bin> ivt.sh serverj default -p 9080 -host myhost

Results

The IVT runs a series of verification tests and reports pass or fail status for each in the messages generated by the BBOWIVT job. The output is written to standard output and to the WAS_HOME/profiles/default/logs/ivtClient.log file.
