- Open setenv.sh and edit it:
vi setenv.sh
- Make sure that the variables denoted in bold below meet the values of your environment (for more information on these values, please review the Notes section of this article):
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS '-Damis.bind.account=amis-bind'"
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS '-Damis.bind.account.password=Support1!'"
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS '-Dam.server=192.168.2.50'"
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS '-Dsmtp.server=192.168.2.120'"
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS '-Dlog.level=DEBUG'"
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS '-Dam.webtier.server=2k8-wt.vcloud.local'"
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS '-Dam.command.client.user.id=CmdClient_v6t1tw6a'"
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS '-Dam.command.client.password=AonNwxecXQITxMdvAZZ8MoXvDMbWv0'"
- Press [ESC] :wq! to save and exit:
:wq!
- Restart the AMIS service:
service tomcat-amis restart
- Run the amServiceHarness tool as an administrator.
