ivt command

The ivt command starts the installation verification test (IVT) program. The IVT verifies that the installation of the application server or dmgr profile was successful. A profile consists of files that define the runtime environment for a dmgr or an application server. Each profile has its own ivt command.

New feature: Beginning in WAS v8.0 you can configure the server to use the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log and trace infrastructure instead of using SystemOut.log , SystemErr.log, trace.log, and activity.log files or native z/OS logging facilities. If you are using HPEL, you can access all of your log and trace information using the LogViewer command-line tool from your server profile bin directory. See the information about using HPEL to troubleshoot applications for more information on using HPEL.New feature:

The IVT program starts the application server or dmgr automatically if the server process is not already running. After the server process initializes, the IVT runs a series of verification tests and displays pass or fail status in a console window.

The IVT program scans the SystemOut.log file for errors and verifies core functionality of the profile.

You can start the IVT program from the command line or from the First steps console.

Location of the command file

The location of the installation verification test script for a profile is the PROFILE_ROOT/bin directory. The script file name is:
