Step 3: Checking the availability of Decision Validation Services

A specific testing URL is designed for you to check the rule session type, the DAO factory class for trace persistence, the class used to cache the Decision Validation Services job, and the pool size for asynchronous execution.

To check the availability of Decision Validation Services:

Enter the URL http://<host>:<port>/testing in a web browser.
Log in to the (Scenario Service Provider) SSP application in one of the Rule Execution Server roles.
The application displays a home page, which contains information about the SSP server.

Version

The version of Decision Server used.

Patch level

The patch level of Decision Server used.

License information

The type of license of this version.

RuleSession

The rule session type (POJO or J2SE).

DAO Factory Class

The DAO (Data Access Object) factory class that is used to persist the trace into the data warehouse.

Job store class

The name of the class that is used to persist the Decision Validation Services job into a cache to free the memory during long computations.

Job pool size

The size of the pool for asynchronous execution.

Started since

The time and date when the SSP started.

Jobs currently running

The About screen provides information about the jobs that are currently running after you run Decision Validation Services in Decision Center:

A Job ID is listed in the table when a user clicks Run in Decision Center.
The Created column records the date and time when each job is initialized.
The Status column shows the number of scenarios that have already been tested, compared to the total number of scenarios.
The Start time records the time when a resource is allocated for the job.
The Parts column records the number of parts in the job:
- A job that is not executed in parallel has one part.
- A job that is executed in parallel has one or more parts.
The End time records the time when the execution of the job is complete, that is, all of the scenarios in the job have been tested.

The report for the job is automatically downloaded by Decision Center at the end of the execution. If the scenario suite is run in the background, the user downloads the report by viewing the list of scenario suites, and then clicking the report link when it becomes available. After the report is viewed, the job is removed from the table. The job remains in the table until the report is downloaded.
