You can use the command utilities to verify the installation integrity of Liberty.
About this task
After you have installed
Liberty, you must
make sure that the installation is completed successfully and that all required features or interim
fixes are installed. The
productInfo command
provides different options to complete the following tasks:
- Compare the differences between APAR fixes and the current installation.
- Validate the MD5 checksum file for server installation and each feature.
- Verify the version information of the current installation.
- Verify the feature list on the current installation.
Procedure
-
Run the
productInfo compare
command to compare the differences between APAR
fixes and the current installation.
For example, the following command compares the current
Liberty installation with the version in the
newInstall.jar file and outputs the results to the
compareOutput.txt
file.
productInfo compare --target=C:\wlp\newInstall.jar --output=C:\wlp\compareOutput.txt
-
Run the
productInfo validate
command to validate the MD5 checksum file for
server installation and each feature.
If a feature is not valid, the command outputs an error and lists the manifest file for the
affected feature. The following example validates the features for the current installation and
outputs the results to the
validate.txt
file.
productInfo validate --output=C:\wlp\validate.txt
-
Run the
productInfo version
command to verify the version information of the
current installation.
For example, the following command outputs detailed information about the installed version to
the
version.txt
file.
productInfo version --verbose --output=C:\wlp\version.txt
-
Run the
productInfo featureInfo
command to verify the feature list on the
current installation.
For example, the following command outputs a list of the installed features and their versions
to the
featureInfo.txt
file.
productInfo featureInfo --output=C:\wlp\featureInfo.txt
