Testing the Configuration of a Java External Environment

Test the configuration of a Java external environment to make sure the JRE is accessible and responding.

1. From the application menu bar, select View > Open > Administration Console.
2. In the Administration Console, expand IQ Servers and select External Environments.
3. In the right pane, select a Java external environment and click the drop-down arrow that appears to the right.
4. Select Test Configuration.
   The Test Configuration dialog displays progress messages to report stopping and then starting the external environment.
5. If the test fails:
   • The iq_java.sh script in the Sybase IQ server’s bin directory might have failed to execute. Run the script manually to check for errors.
   • The JRE might have been deleted or moved to a new location. To specify a new location:
     1. In the Administration Console, select a Java external environment and click the drop-down arrow that appears to the right.
     2. Select Properties.
     3. In the Location field, enter the new path to the Java executable (java.exe or java).
     4. From the User drop-down, select the Sybase IQ user or group that the external environment uses to log in to the database. The user or group must have DBA authority; the default is DBA.
