Verifying the installation

You can verify successful installation of the offering using the capabilities of IBM® Installation Manager.

Procedure

  • To verify installation of the offering, you can use Installation Manager to find the offering in the list of installed packages.
    Change the directory to the eclipse/tools subdirectory of the Installation Manager binaries location, and run this command:
    ./imcl listInstalledPackages
    This will display a list indicating which packages this Installation Manager has installed. For example:
    com.ibm.websphere.liberty.ND_16.0.2.20160203_0234
  • If an installation was successful, the installed.xml file should contain a location element for the installed offering.

    For example, the following file:

    installation_manager_root/properties/version/installed.xml
    should contain something like this:
    <location id="IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Network Deployment" kind="product" path="/QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/Liberty/ND"> ..... </location>
  • If you used the Installation Manager -log option during installation, you can verify that the resulting log file does not contain any errors.

    If you used the following command to install the offering silently for example:

    ./imcl -acceptLicense 
      input $HOME/WASFiles/liberty/temp/install_response_file.xml 
      -log $HOME/WASFiles/liberty/temp/install_log.xml 
      -secureStorageFile $HOME/WASFiles/liberty/temp/credential.store -masterPasswordFile $HOME/WASFiles/liberty/password_file.txt
    and the installation was successful, the install_log.xml file should contain something like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <result>
    </result>
