Test TimesTen

To test TimesTen, the test Pod runs a script that attempts to connect to the TimesTen database by using TimesTen's client/server access. If the script can connect to the database, the script then looks at internal metadata to verify that the database is functioning properly.

The test connects to the database as the test user. The TimesTen Operator provides the testUser metadata file that lets you define this test user. For more information about the testUser metadata file and this test user, see testUser and Install TimesTen Databases.

If you do not define a test user, the test fails. If you do define a test user, the user only has CONNECT privileges. This limits the test and the test user's access to the database.

The test verifies that the active standby pair of TimesTen Classic databases are up and running and that replication between them is functional.

To test TimesTen, you test the ttclassic chart release running in your namespace. Let's test TimesTen.

Confirm the ttclassic release.

 helm list

Output.
