Testing your installation

To verify the installation, you can create an instance of an Endeca data store.

Note: The instructions in this topic are based on Windows. If you installed on Linux, the steps will be similar, though you will need to substitute executables and paths.

To test that the installation succeeded, perform the following steps:

  1. To start the Endeca Server on Windows, use the Oracle Endeca Server 7.4.0 > Start Oracle Endeca Server option in the Start Menu.
  2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the Oracle\Endeca\Server\7.4.0\endeca-cmd folder.
  3. Use the endeca-cmd create-ds command to create and start an Endeca data store.
    endeca-cmd create-ds adventureworks

    The command creates an initial index for the Endeca data store and starts it.

  4. Use the endeca-cmd status-ds command to verify that the Endeca data store is running:
    endeca-cmd status-ds adventureworks
    The Endeca data store will be fully running when you see this output in the command prompt window:
    Current State: Started
    
    Data Files: C:\Oracle\Endeca\Server\7.4.0\endeca-server\data\adventureworks
    WS Port: 7771
    Bulk Load Port: 7772
    Startup Timeout (s): 60
    Shutdown Timeout (s): 60
