Verify WebSphere

Use the following tests to verify that WebSphere is working:

• Test whether the WebSphere application server is installed correctly by accessing IBM’s snoop utility at the following URL:

  http://hostname:port/snoop

  For example:

  http://MyServer.MyCompany.com:9080/snoop

  If WebSphere is installed correctly, the Snoop Servlet—Request Client Information page is displayed in the browser.

• If you have a web server installed, test that the WebSphere application server plug-in is installed correctly. Use IBM’s snoop utility without including the application server port in the URL:

  http://hostname/snoop

  For example:

  http://MyServer.MyCompany.com/snoop

  If WebSphere is installed correctly, the same Snoop Servlet—Request Client Information page is displayed in the browser. This means that profile was created and has at least one server which is configured with the plug-in.
