Validate the Framework Services Installation

  1. Launch the Framework Services Installation Validator from:

    http:// servername.mycompany.com:port /efs/installvalidator.jsp . For example:

    http://europe.lawson.com:9080/efs/installvalidator.jsp

    Note: For convenience, bookmark this location for ease of access later.
  2. Enter your login information.
    Note: If you use the default text-based authenticator that is delivered during installation,then specify a user name and password of lawson for both. For another type of authenticator, specify any values you choose.
  3. Click the Show All Tests link.

    The Framework Services Core Installation Validator initially displays a list of failed or incomplete configuration steps marked by color codes:

    • Green (passed)

    • Yellow (partially complete)

    • Red (failed)

  4. Go through each of the Installation Validator steps, correcting each cautionary or failed step in turn. All tests should display a green color code before you can consider the installation successful.

    Test steps are described below.

    Each partially complete or failed step displays the error, a link to the location where you can change settings, and additional information.

    Note: Since some steps require information from earlier steps, correct each configuration issue in the order in which it appears.
    Step Title Description
    1 System Information

    This step provides a summary of verified system information.

    2 System Configuration Settings

    This step loads system settings and gives you the opportunity to edit system configuration using the System Configuration Assistant.

    • Authentication Provider

      If you do not plan to use the default of text-based authentication for validating users and passwords, then use System Configuration Settings. Click the System Configuration Settings link to set a different authentication type.

    • Repository

      The JNDI name field contains the JNDI name associated with the data source created in WebSphere's server.xml file.

    • For MSSQL:

      Set the Repository SQL Driver Type field to Microsoft SQL Server.

      You can use the optional Repository SQL Driver Prefix field to define several driver configurations, each one with a different prefix. You can use MSSQL to differentiate it from other driver configurations.

    • For Oracle:

      Set the Repository SQL Driver Type field to Oracle Pooled.

      You can use the optional Repository SQL Driver Prefix field to define several driver configurations, each one with a different prefix. You can use ORACLE to differentiate it from other driver configurations.

    • You can use the System Localization field to set the default server language and time zone.

    For more information on using the System Configuration Settings, see the Framework Services User and Administration Guide.
    3 Repository Validation

    4 Database Driver Location (JDBC) This step verifies that the database driver is present.
    5 Repository Settings This step verifies that repository settings have been configured correctly.
    6 Authentication Validation This step verifies that the role provider can list users and groups.
    7 Authentication Test

    For the default text-based authenticator that is delivered during installation, specify a user name and password of lawson for both. For another type of authenticator, specify any values you choose.

    This step enables you to perform a test of the authenticator installed on the system.
