Verifying the deployment and configuration

It is good practice to verify that Rule Execution Server is successfully deployed and configured by running the diagnostics.

About this task

Important:

To let a scalable number of users access resources through the Java™ components, JCA assigns the task of implementing connection pooling to application server vendors.
If the diagnostics are performed before any execution units (XU) are started, the test is passed and a message reports that no Execution Unit (XU) are initialized.
On WebSphere® Application Server, the pool size is not instantiated beforehand and therefore prevents the server diagnostics from validating a Rule Execution Server before the first execution of a rule engine. The diagnostics remain useful to validate a configuration, especially in a cluster, and to check which execution units are registered with the management model.

Procedure

Open the Rule Execution Server console by typing res at the root URL on the host machine:
http://<machine_name>:<PORT>/res

If security is enabled, the prefix is https://.

To find the value of <PORT>:
1. In the Integrated Solutions Console, click Servers > Server types > Websphere application servers.
2. Select the name of your server.
3. Under Communications, click Ports.
Sign in to the Rule Execution Server console.
Click the Diagnostics tab.
Click Run Diagnostics.

Results

You see a report listing the diagnostic tests. A check mark is shown next to each test to indicate whether the test is successful. Click Expand All to show more details about the tests.
