Verifying the database and WebSphere Application Server settings

After you install IBM® Product Master, use the following checks to ensure that you set up the application correctly.

Database configuration and settings

Oracle Database - All necessary Product Master configurations for the Oracle are enabled in the init.ora file in Oracle. For more information, see Setting up your Oracle Database. After the Oracle Database is up, you can verify the necessary Product Master settings. You can consult your DBA for assistance with this.
Db2® database - All necessary Product Master settings for DB2® database are enabled in three different configuration areas:
1. Db2 Registry variables.
2. Db2 database Manager Configuration.
3. Db2 database configuration.
Check these settings by running a Db2 Server shell script by using Db2 instance owner ID to verify the IBM Product Master Installation Guide recommended value with the current value for configuration settings. For more information, see Setting up your Db2 database. For assistance with the shell script, consult your DBA.

WebSphere Application Server settings

Check settings in the WebSphere® Application Server admin console against recommendations for WebSphere Application Server in the WebSphere Application Server documentation and against those made in the Product Master Installation Guide. You can verify that the correct Java™ and JDK libraries are used. For more information, see Setting WebSphere Application Server parameters.

Product settings

All product settings are stored in the common.properties file. Verify that all the required settings are understood and used. If necessary, verify that the Mount manager is installed and configured correctly.
