Objectivity/DB

Testing Objectivity/DB Installation between Linux hosts.

Purpose

A test program which checks client - server configuration between several Linux hosts.

Method

The main script mainsc will run the test on a number of Linux hosts, creating federation on the server host, the database on client with an object in it. Than the object is read from the client and federation removed.

In case of errors, processing terminates.

The following scripts and programs exist:

conf - which contains all the variables needed by script. You have to set path to current program directory,

mainsc - which starts readsc script for each host. Host names are taken from a command line of mainsc.

readsc - which executes reading for each database on each host.

To execute mainsc you should:

• Copy all files files form /afs/cern.ch/rd45/tests/install/testLinux to a new_directory in which you will run test program.
• You can also copy a tar file LinuxTest.tgz and untar it with the gtar -xzf filename
• Make changes in conf file setting all the variables from line:#local variables for test program. You have to set current program directory (your new_directory).
• Execute mainsc script with hosts names to be tested - at least two.
• Sources of the write/read programs are added in the SOURCE directory.
