After installing and configuring WebSphere Application Server installation,
verify that the product performs as desired.
About this task
You can verify your WebSphere Application Server installation by
invoking a verification script or by invoking example browser-based applications.
Procedure
- Run the install verification script.
One way to verify
the installation of WebSphere Application Server is to call the ivt script
from Qshell.
- On the Control Language (CL) command line, run the Start Qshell
(STRQSH) command.
- From the Qshell prompt, run the ivt command
to verify the internal HTTP instance:
app_server_root/bin/ivt server1 default
If the script runs successfully, the following message is displayed.
Note that this example is for WebSphere Application Server.
Server name is:server1
Profile name is:default
Profile home is:profile_root
Profile type is:default
Cell name is:MYISERIESCell
Node name is:MYISERIES
Current encoding is:ISO8859_1
Server port number is:9080
IVTL0015I: WebSphere Application Server MYISERIES is running on port 9080 for profile default
IVTL0010I: Connecting to the WebSphere Application Server MYISERIES on port: 9080
IVTL0015I: WebSphere Application Server MYISERIES is running on port 9080 for profile default
IVTL0015I: WebSphere Application Server MYISERIES is running on port 9080 for profile default
Testing server using the following URL:http://MYISERIES:9080/ivt/ivtserver?par m2=ivtservlet
IVTL0050I: Servlet Engine Verification Status - Passed
Testing server using the following URL:http://MYISERIES:9080/ivt/ivtserver?par m2=ivtAddition.jsp
IVTL0055I: JSP Verification Status - Passed
Testing server using the following URL:http://MYISERIES:9080/ivt/ivtserver?par m2=ivtejb
IVTL0060I: EJB Verification Status - Passed
IVTL0035I: Scanning the file
profile_root/logs/server1/SystemOut.log for errors and warnings
IVTL0040I: 0 errors/warnings were detected in the file
profile_root/logs/server1/SystemOut.log
IVTL0080I: Installation Verification is complete
- Run a Sample application.
To call an example browser-based
application to verify the installation, perform the following steps:
- If WebSphere Application Server is not already running, see Starting WebSphere Application Server.
- Verify the internal HTTP transport.
Open the following
Web address in your browser. The URL is case-sensitive. Also, the capitalization
must be consistent.
http://your_server_name:9080/hitcount
The your_server_name variable
is the name of your iSeries server. Port 9080 is the default internal HTTP
port.
The panel that is displayed has the bold title "Hit Count Demonstration."
If you see something similar, WebSphere Application Server is set up successfully
to run using the internal HTTP server.
- Verify the external HTTP server
Open the following
Web address in a browser. The URL is case-sensitive. Also, the capitalization
must be consistent.
http://your_server_name:80/HitCount.jsp
The your_server_name variable is the name of your iSeries server. Port 80 is the default port
for the application server external HTTP server. If your HTTP server instance
uses a different port, specify the appropriate port number.
The panel
that is displayed has the bold title "Hit Count Demonstration." If you see
something similar, WebSphere Application Server is set up successfully to
run using the configured Web server.
You can also run sample Web applications that are included with WebSphere
Application Server. For information about running the sample applications,
see Installing and accessing the Samples Gallery.
- Run the installver command. See Verifying checksums of installed files.
Results
If the verification indicates that WebSphere Application Server runs
as desired, you do not need to perform additional steps.
What to do next
After you finish installing and configuring WebSphere Application
Server, use resources in the iSeries information center to learn more about
the product.
- Samples and applications
- This topic describes how to use the WebSphere Application Server samples
gallery. The samples gallery provides a set of small, generic samples that
show how to perform common enterprise application tasks.
- IBM Business Solutions
- IBM Business Solutions are business applications that you can use with
WebSphere Application Server. They work in conjunction with your existing
enterprise applications and server components to increase productivity in
an easy-to-use environment.
- Administering applications and their
environments
- This topic describes how to configure and manage the WebSphere Application
Server product
- Developing and deploying applications
- This topic includes information about how to program server-side Java
components that run in WebSphere Application Server.
For your iSeries server to achieve good performance with
WebSphere applications, tune your iSeries server. Tuning techniques and tips
for i5/OS, Java, and WebSphere Application Server are in Java and WebSphere
Performance on IBM eServer iSeries Servers, SG24-6256-00. Although
this Redbook is based on WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0, many Java
and WebSphere tuning knobs are similar to WebSphere Application Server Version
6.1. For more information, see Java and WebSphere Performance on IBM eServer iSeries Servers.
