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.
Caution: PORTTEST will fail if the Enterprise Server does not have an appropriate 32-bit database client installed. Refer to the section of this chapter entitled: Installing a 32-bit Database Client.

To verify the Enterprise Server installation using PORTTEST:

  1. Log on to the UNIX Enterprise Server as jde920

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

    cd $SYSTEM/bin32
    porttest userid password environment 
    

    where userid is a valid Release 9.2 user ID, password is the user password, and environment is the environment you want to verify (for example, DV920). Enter this 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

    This program initializes a user and an environment (assuming Release 9.2 is installed and configured correctly). The program displays messages that indicate the selection of records from a Release 9.2 table. If it does not, review the jde_xx.log file (or JDE_XX.LOG file) in the directory path /$EVRHOME/log.

    Tip: If PORTTEST fails to run, refer to Using the PORTTEST Checklist for diagnostic assistance.
