Siebel Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows > Verifying and Troubleshooting Your Installation > About the Environment Verification ToolThe Environment Verification Tool (EVT) is a tool intended to help system administrators verify the configuration of the Siebel CRM environment. System administrators can use the EVT utility to identify errors and potential problems in the Siebel Enterprise after installation in a development or test environment, or following rollout or upgrades. It is recommended that you use EVT to verify your Siebel Business Applications environment. EVT is included with the installed software for Siebel Server, Siebel Gateway Name Server, and Siebel Web Server Extension (SWSE). It is provided for each supported Siebel Enterprise Server operating system. Siebel Modules or Third-Party Products That EVT Can CheckYou can run EVT against Siebel Business Applications modules and some third-party products.
EVT Check GroupsThe EVT engine is driven by a configuration file (evt.ini). This file is specific for each version of Siebel Business Applications, and cannot be used to run the utility against an earlier or a later version of the software. This file identifies the default checks that must be run, and it also provides the dependency logic, such as operating system-specific checks or database-specific checks, between different checks. The evt.ini file can be customized to check for other issues as well. If you want to create customized checks, then create a copy of the original evt.ini file for this purpose, so that you do not accidentally affect EVT functionality. You can use EVT to validate configuration settings in the following check groups:
About the EVT Configuration FileEVT uses a configuration file (evt.ini) to determine what checks to perform and, for each check, what settings it will check for. Each Siebel CRM release has a corresponding configuration file specific for that release. This file resides under the In the evt.ini file, the [CheckX] sections contain check definitions for different check groups. Refer to the evt.ini file for descriptions of the parameters used for each check section. A check definition can have the parameters shown in Table 21. Not shown in the table are check-dependent parameters, such as PARAMNAME and PARAMVALUE.
Parameters in the .ini file must be set to the alias and not to the value; for example, You can use # (pound sign) as a comment character in the evt.ini file, to disable particular entries. You can also add new checks to the .ini file based on your business requirements, using the parameters described in Table 21. If you decide to do so, then make a copy of the file, and make your modifications in the new file. Then run EVT using the -f option, as described in Optional EVT Command-Line Flags, to direct EVT to use the new configuration file. |
