The installver command starts the bill of materials installation verification program. The installver tool verifies that the installation of the product and the creation of a profile was successful. Each profile has its own installver command file.
This tool checks a bill of material (BOM) inventory list of data against the installed files on the file system to ensure that all installed files are correct. The BOM is provided and updated by IBM to support this installation verification system.
The installver program does not start the application server or deployment manager automatically like the IVT program. The installver computes a checksum based on the bill of materials that is shipped with the product to verify proper installation.
Start the installver program from the command line on all distributed platforms.
