Verifying the Enterprise Server Installation Using PORTTEST

Note: When running PORTTEST after installing the Enterprise Server, the test returns a failure message. This is because it is not able to access the F0902 table at this time, (the format of the F0902 table changes during the Table Conversion Workbench). Ignore any errors relating to accessing the F0902 table, (for example, Select all on table F0902 failed - rcode=0). Once the Workbench tasks are all complete, and the Enterprise Server is configured, rerun PORTTEST.

The basic PORTTEST procedure ensures connectivity. Refer to Using the PORTTEST Checklist for additional details including the PORTTEST checklist.

Tip: Cluster Software Considerations. If using cluster software, skip this step. Before you attempt to start Release 9.2, complete the steps in the Microsoft Windows Cluster chapter of Release 9.2 on a Cluster in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Server and Workstation Administration Guide.

The PORTTEST program initializes a user and an environment (assuming that Release 9.2 is installed and configured correctly). To verify that Release 9.2 is installed correctly, you must run the PORTTEST program for each environment.

To verify the Enterprise Server installation using PORTTEST:

1. Log on to the Enterprise Server as JDE.

   Note: The DB2 for Linux, Windows, and UNIX databases must be cataloged on the Enterprise Server if the databases are not located on the same machine as the database server. As part of the installation process, the databases on the database server are automatically cataloged by the create_db.sql script. Refer to the section of this guide entitled: Cataloging for DB2 for Linux, Windows, and UNIX for recommended cataloging procedures you can use to manually catalog the database whenever it receives substantial additional data.

2. Open a DOS command window.

3. To verify that Release 9.2 is installed correctly on the Enterprise Server, enter these commands:

   d: [or the appropriate drive letter]

   cd \JDEdwards\E920\System\bin32

   PORTTEST userid password environment

   where userid is a valid Release 9.2 user, password is the password for that user, and environment is the environment you are verifying. Enter the PORTTEST command for each environment.

   Caution: These parameters are case-sensitive. If your case is incorrect, the command will fail. For example, if your userid and password are uppercase JDE, and your Pristine environment is uppercase PY920, you should issue the PORTTEST command as such:PORTTEST JDE JDE PY920
   Tip: Troubleshooting. The program should display messages indicating the selection of records from an Release 9.2 table. If it does not, review the jde_###.log that was specified in the JDE.INI on the Enterprise Server. If PORTTEST fails to run, see Using the PORTTEST Checklist for diagnostic assistance.
