5 Testing and Troubleshooting

Note:

  • Before running the test utility for 11.1.1, make sure that you have copied the required jar files (xliTelnet.jar or xliSSH.jar) into the folders JavaTasks and ScheduleTask, and sshfactory.jar is copied to ThirdParty folder.

  • If the SSHVersion of the target resource is client, then the connector may not work expectedly. In this case, you need to replace the sshfactory.jar file in Thirdparty with the latest version of sshafactory.jar file.

You can use the testing utility to identify the cause of problems associated with connecting to the target system and performing basic operations on the target system.

Before you use the testing utility, copy the files in the test directory on the installation media to one of the following directories:

Set the required values in the config.properties file. This file is in one of the following directories:
