Verifying a batch processor instance

At any time, you can run tests to verify that a batch processor instance is operational. This is useful after installing a new batch processor instance or during troubleshooting.

About this task

Each batch processor instance includes an Installation Verification Test (IVT) script that runs a number of tests to verify that the batch processor is operational. The IVT script, ivt.sh, is located in the batch processor’s $home/bin folder.

To verify a batch processor instance:

Procedure

Open a terminal window on the machine where the batch processor instance resides.
Run the IVT script using the following command, replacing the $home variable with the location of the batch processor instance’s home directory:
```
cd $home/bin
./ivt.sh
```
For example:
```
cd /usr/IBM/MDM/BatchProcessor1/bin
./ivt.sh
```
If this is the first time that you are running a batch activity from this batch processor instance (such as if this is a newly installed instance), you are prompted to verify the SSL signer certificate of the target server. Reply y to add the signer to the trust store.

Results

The IVT script will run some batch transactions to test the batch processor instance. The terminal window displays a number of messages that indicate the success or failure of each transaction.

What to do next

If the verification test fails, see Troubleshooting batch processor issues for ideas about how to resolve the issues.
