Verifying the Installation

This section explains the ways to verify the TIBCO API Exchange Gateway installation.

Checking the Installer Log File

Check the tibco_universal_installer.userid_install.log and antTask_log_post-install_yyyy-mm-dd.timestamp.log files which are located in the .TIBCO/install_timestamp folder of the user’s home directory performing the installation.

For example, on the Windows platform, the tibco_universal_installer.userid_install.log and antTask_log_post-install_yyyy-mm-dd.timestamp.log files are located in the C:\Users\userid\.TIBCO directory.

Errors in this file, or the existence of error files under this folder, indicates installation problems. Error files have the following format:

antTask_ERROR_log_post-install_yyyy-mm-dd.n.log

Checking the TIBCO API Exchange Gateway Server Status

This section describes the steps to check the status of the TIBCO API Exchange Gateway server instance by invoking a simple ping operation. This includes configuring and running the Apache HTTP Server, configuring EMS Server (optional) followed by running the Core Engine.

ASG_CONFIG_HOME/logs/asg-caching-core.log

5.	Open a web browser and type:

   http://hostname:port/ping

hostname is the machine on which Apache HTTP Server runs and port is the listening port for Apache HTTP Server as configured in APACHE_HOME/conf/httpd.conf file.

6.	Verify that the following message is displayed in the browser window:
