Task	Guidance
Review all installation logs for errors.	For more information, see Log files.
Verify that a backup of the system exists	If it does not exist, create a backup of your system by running the OPBackup command from the `<OP_HOME>`/aurora/bin directory. Verify that a compressed file was created with the correct time stamp. The file is in the OPBackup directory. The location of the OPBackup directory is specified by the OP Backup Restore Directory field on the Application Server card. For information about using the backup utility, see the IBM OpenPages Administrator's Guide.
Confirm that the reporting schema and framework generated successfully.	For more information, see Regenerating the reporting framework.
Validate that you can access IBM® Cognos® Analytics.	In OpenPages, click the primary menu, and then click Analytics. Or, go to the URL `http://<server_name>/ibmcognos`. Confirm that you can log on to the portal.
Confirm that base reports are functioning as expected.	Run the `All Documentation` Cognos report. Note: If you do not see the OpenPages reports and packages in the IBM Cognos Analytics, import the OpenPages Platform Reports package. For more information, see OpenPages reports are not displayed in IBM Cognos Analytics.
If single sign-on (SSO) is enabled, verify that user accounts can access the environment.	Log on to the OpenPages application with an SSO user account.
Confirm that you can upload and download sample attachments.	Log on to the OpenPages application and upload and download a file attachment.
Verify that links in reports reference the correct server address and use the correct web URL parameters.	Run a report that uses OpenPages links. Select a link and confirm that the target object is rendered successfully in the OpenPages interface.
For clustered environments, verify that all servers can upload and download attachments.	Upload and download files from both the admin and non-admin application servers.
