Chapter 5 Testing Your ECXpert Installation
This chapter explains how to test your ECXpert installation and helps you decide what your next step should be. Begin by reading the material that is appropriate for your platform:
Then, proceed to test your ECXpert installation as described in the section:
Finally, read the section "What's Next?" to determine what to do next.
Getting Ready to Test on Solaris
After you have installed ECXpert, it is a good idea to submit a test document to make sure you have installed and configured Oracle and ECXpert correctly.
Follow the steps below to submit a test document using the Input_810.txt document.
- Create a backup copy of the test document by entering the following commands:
# cd $BDGHOME/maps
# cp Input_810.txt /tmp/Input_810.txt
- If you have not already done so, start up your web browser.
You can be logged on as user root, system, or the ECXpert admin user. Then, enter the following commands:
- If you have not already done so, display the ECXpert Administration home page now.
If you created a bookmark for the ECXpert Administration home page, select it now, or enter the URL:
http://hostname:port#
where hostname is the name of the machine on which your web server resides and the port number is the number of the port on which the web server is listening.
The ECXpert main menu screen is displayed as shown in Figure 5-1.

- Click the Support link to open the Product Administrative Interface Login window and proceed to the section "Testing ECXpert".
Getting Ready to Test on Windows
Before you test ECXpert on the Windows platform, you need to
- Resolve any problems associated with Windows directory names
- Install the FTP Server
- Get ready to test your installation
This section explains how you complete these tasks.
Troubleshoot Windows Directory Names
Windows allows spaces in directory names. If you install ECXpert in a directory with a space in the name you must modify your Sun™ ONE Web Server obj.conf file and your ECXpert ecx.ini file to refer to the directory by its MS-DOS name.
- From the Windows task bar select Start > Windows Explorer.
- Right-click the directory name to display the pop-up menu.
- Click Properties.
A window appears, listing various information about the directory name, including its MS-DOS name. For example, the Windows directory C:\ Program Files is known to MS-DOS as PROGRA~1, following the MS-DOS eight-character file and directory names with three-character extensions convention.
- Replace the Windows filename with the MS-DOS filename in all occurrences in the obj.conf and ecx.ini files.
Install the Windows FTP Server Service
If you want to receive incoming FTP requests, you must install the Windows NT FTP Server service as described in this section before continuing on to the instructions in the "Get Ready to Test ECXpert" section.
To install the Windows FTP server service
- From the Windows task bar select Start > Settings > Control Panel.
- Double-click Network.
- Click Services, click Add, and then click Microsoft Peer Web Services.
- Click OK, then type the path for the Windows NT source files.
For example, if you are using the Windows NT CD-ROM drive D:\, enter
D:\i386
- Click OK to start the Microsoft Peer Web Services Setup.
- The FTP Service is selected by default, but you may want to clear the check boxes for options you do not want to install.
The FTP Service, along with other Peer Web Service components, can be configured by using the Internet Service Manager tool.
- Start Microsoft Internet Service Manager:
- If you are using Windows NT Workstation 4.0, from the Windows task bar select Start > Programs > Microsoft Peer Web Services > Internet Service Manager.
- If you are using Windows NT Server 4.0, from the Windows task bar select Start > Programs > Microsoft Internet Server (common) > Internet Service Manager.
- If you are using Windows 2000, you will need to install FTP service from the main installation disk (Add-On Components). You can then access the Internet Services Manager by selecting Control Panel > Administrative Tools >Internet Services Manager.
- Click the FTP icon.
Select Properties > Service Properties. Deselect Allow only anonymous connections.
- Click Yes.
- Select Directories, and click Add to create directory aliases for use with ECXpert.
When you have finished creating all the directory aliases you need, click Apply, then click OK.
- Select Properties > Exit.
Get Ready to Test ECXpert
After you have installed ECXpert, it is a good idea to submit a test document to make sure you have installed and configured Oracle and ECXpert correctly.
To submit the test Input_810.txt document
- Create a backup copy of the test document. Navigate to the directory $BDGHOME\maps. Copy the file Input_810.txt to another file name.
- If you have not already done so, start your web browser. (You should be logged in as root, system, or the ECXpert admin user.)
- Open the bookmark to the ECXpert Administration home page, or enter the URL hostname/port_number, where hostname is the name of the machine on which your web server resides, and port_number is the number of the port on which your server is listening. The ECXpert Main Menu screen is displayed as shown in Figure 5-2.
