Utilities for checking WebOffice connection to ArcGIS Server (Server Object Manager, SOM) using DCOM.
To check if connecting to the ArcGIS Server machine from the Application Server machine (where WebOffice 10 R3 web application is installed) using DCOM, works all right, you can use on of the Utilities provided on the WebOffice 10 R3 installation media:
•ArcGIS Server DCOM Test Web App – You will find the file AGSTest.war in this directory. Copy over this file to <Tomcat installation directory>\webapps and restart Tomcat. You will then be able to start this web application using a browser and entering http://<myServer>:8080/AGSTest. It is possible to run different tests. The web application is executed in the very same user context as the WebOffice 10 R3 application and within the Tomcat servlet engine container. It is recommended to use this tool for analyzing and checking connection problems when trying to connect to ArcGIS Server (Server Object Manager, SOM process)
- The tool is only tested with Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3 and does not work with Internet Explorer 6,
- The following tests are available at the moment:
- # TestServerPing
- # TestServerStatus
- # TestStopConfiguration
- # TestStartConfiguration
- # TestSOCStatus
- # TestExtension
- # TestExportMapImage
- You can enter the user credentials and connection parameters manually or you can create a properties file, if you want to reuse certain properties in the future,
- To use a properties file, you need to navigate to \AGSTest\WEB-INF\connections and create a .properties file similar to sample.properties and place it in the directory.
IMPORTANT: Please delete the AGSTest.war-file and the AGSTest-directory after you finished your connection tests from the TomCat\webapps-directory, because the logfile contains unencrypted password (at a high log level),Log file location \AGSTest\log\app.log. You can change the log level in \AGSTest\WEB-INF\log4j.properties
