How can one use the isview tool with the Deployment Package?

This page contains answers to some frequently asked questions about the Deployment Package.

The isview tool is a helpful debugging/trouble-shooting aid, but it is currently not possible to directly access it using the deployment agent client. Follow the next steps to make it accessible:

1. Connect to the machine using ssh/remote desktop
2. Determine the directory of the instance you want to look at

     $ bin/deployment-agent-client describe-instance INSTANCE_NAME
     ...
     directory=/somewhere/instances/INSTANCE_NAME
     ...
     

   The output of this will contain a line that starts with "directory=", and contains the actual directory.

3. Determine the installation of this instance

     $ bin/deployment-agent-client describe-instance INSTANCE_NAME
     ...
     installation=INSTALLATION_NAME
     ...
     

4. Determine the directory of the installation of this instance

     $ bin/deployment-agent-client describe-installation INSTALLATION_NAME
     ...
     directory=/somewhere/installations/INSTALLATION_NAME
     ...
     

5. Link the required files

     $ cd /somewhere/instances/INSTANCE_NAME
     $ cp -lr /somewhere/installations/INSTALLATION_NAME/bin .
     $ cp -lr /somewhere/installations/INSTALLATION_NAME/lib .
     $ cp -lr /somewhere/installations/INSTALLATION_NAME/etc .
     $ chmod +x bin/*
     

   Do not softlink the directories, as this may destroy your setup when the instance is removed later.

6. Run bin/isview

     $ bin/isview
