Validating successful installation

The following steps should be completed to confirm that the Hybrid Connector is working correctly after a successful OHS installation or upgrade. This is not intended to be a complete functional test, but rather a "smoke test" to verify the system is functional. If you can complete these steps without error, then the system has been validated.

  1. Run the following PowerShell command to restart any stopped services:

    Get-Service -Name "Itron.Platform.OHS*" | Where-Object {$_.Status -eq "Stopped"} | Restart-Service

  2. Run the following PowerShell command to verify that the services have started:

    Get-Service -Name "Itron.Platform.OHS*" | Where-Object {$_.Status -eq "Running"rtf}

  3. Verify the result. The version suffix should match the version number most recently installed (for example, _2.4.1.9):

  4. Navigate to C:\Temp\OHSv2\logs.

  5. Locate the log file that contains the following statement:

    Tenant Provisioning in Progress for Client

  6. Review the log. The following example log indicates provisioning success:

    Note: Any errors or exceptions will be explicitly mentioned in the log.

  7. Log on to the Portal, confirm that you are working within the correct tenant, and initiate an OHS health check.

  8. Wait for at least one minute after initiating the health check and then refresh the screen.

  9. Verify that the health check indicates a Status of Running ().

Distributed Intelligence

If Distributed Intelligence (DI) is part of your solution, continue the procedure with the following additional steps:

  1. Go to the Analytics Admin Portal.

  2. Navigate to Platform Operations > Test Connection.

  3. Click Select All.

  4. Click Test. For Itron Hybrid Connector and OHS, the Status field should display a green check ().

  5. Drop a blank MDI file into the correct OHS upload folder, for example:

    C:\HybridConnectorFileTransfers\1d29184f-def0-4017-bda9-c45898d93c42\file-uploads\MDI

    A blank MDI file has an .xml file name extension and contains the following lines:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <MasterDataImport xmlns="http://www.itron.com/masterdata/2013/03"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ></MasterDataImport>

  6. Navigate to Platform Operations > Import Monitoring.

  7. Monitor for MDI import files to show up as Pending or any other status. The presence of the MDI import file indicates success.
