3.4 Testing the WebSphere Application Server cluster

You can test the WebSphere Application Server cluster to ensure that all members are active and that the cluster operates according to your design. You should ensure that the WebSphere Application Server cluster functions correctly before you proceed to install and configure LiveCycle.

To test the WebSphere Application Server cluster:

  1. Ensure that all WebSphere Application Server instances of the cluster are started.

  2. View the server.log file located in [appserver root]/profiles/[profile name]/logs/[application server name]/SystemOut.log. Messages such as the following one confirm the active members of the cluster:
