Testing WebCenter

On the Application Server and the Web Server, ensure IIS and the WebCenter services are started and configured to start automatically.

After starting/restarting the WebCenter services, always wait a few moments until the CPU processor activity on both servers become idle (<5%) before attempting to access the login page.

Testing each facet of WebCenter in the exact order below helps to easily and quickly identify points of failure, if any.

• IIS Connectivity – use IIS Manager to access the WebCenter_Inst site
• IIS Security settings – can access the home page after logging in
• Database connection and Schema – can add a new record to the database
• FileStore connectivity – can write a file to the FileStore and then retrieve it
• View Data generation – can upload a graphic file and the OBGE does its job
• View and Annotate applet – can launch the applet successfully on a Graphic file
