Validating the Deployment

After IBM Connect:Direct® for UNIX is deployed using a Docker container you should validate the deployment to ensure that everything is working as expected.

Complete the following tasks to validate the deployment:
  • Invoke the docker ps -a command to get the container-id
    docker ps -a

    Sample Output

    CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
    <container-id> <image-id> “./CDStartup.sh” About an hour ago Up About an hour 0.0.0.0:11364->1364/tcp, 11363->1363/tcp <container-name>
  • Check the docker container logs and verify the below successful logs are displayed:
    # docker logs <container name/id>
    Output
    ----------------Installation Successful---------------
    CD Unix new installation version: IBM(R) Connect:Direct(R) for UNIX Version 6.0.0.1_iFixxxx, Build date ddmonthyy, Intel x86 Linux
    ----------------Installation Completed----------------
  • Check the silent installation logs for any error

    From the mapped path on Storage Volume, check the silent installation logs cdaiLog.txt inside the work directory.

    The finalRc value at the end of file should be 0 as displayed in the example below:
    <date> <time>    0  CDAI010I exitScript() exited. finalRc=0

    A non-zero finalRc value would mean a failed Connect:Direct for Unix installation.
