Verifying the Content Platform Engine system

You can verify the Content Platform Engine system by using Administration Console for Content Platform Engine to create a folder in each object store.

Before you begin

To perform this system test, you must have installed Content Platform Engine and have created at least one object store.

About this task

If you can complete the steps in this verification test, you will verify that Content Platform Engine is successfully installed, including the following configurations:
  • Content Platform Engine is successfully using the cpe_service_user account to communicate with the configured directory server.
  • Content Platform Engine is successfully using the cpe_db_user account to communicate with configured database.

Procedure

To verify the Content Platform Engine system:

  1. Start Administration Console for Content Platform Engine if you did not already do so:
    1. On any computer, open a browser and navigate to the Administration Console for Content Platform Engine logon page:
      • In a standard availability environment, the logon page is at http://CPE_Server:port/acce. CPE_Server is the name of the system where Content Platform Engine is deployed. port is the HTTP port that is used by the application server where Content Platform Engine is deployed.
      • In a high availability environment, the logon page is at http://virtual_server:port/acce. virtual_server is the name of the load balancer or proxy server where the clusters of Content Platform Engine is deployed. port is the port number of the load balancer or proxy server.
    2. Log on as the object_store_admin user.
  2. Start the New Sub Folder wizard in the administration console:
    1. In the domain navigation pane, select the object store.
    2. Select the Browse > Root Folder folder.
    3. Right-click the Root Folder and choose New Sub Folder to start the New Sub Folder wizard.
  3. Complete the wizard.
  4. Optional: Delete the folder object that you just created.
  5. High availabilityIn high availability environments, verify failover for all nodes in your configuration.
    1. Browse to the Content Platform Engine Startup Context page: 
      http://ce_server:port/FileNet/Engine
    2. Fail one of the Content Platform Engine nodes.
    3. Verify that you can reload the Startup Context page, and that you can access your object stores by using Administration Console for Content Platform Engine.
    4. Restart all nodes that you failed during this test.
