WebSphere Portal 8.0 – Active Site Analytics Owner: Helmut Baumgartner Configuration Name: Test Infrastructure: WebSphere Portal 8.0 – Active Site Analytics Date of Issue: May 21, 2012 Product Version: 8.0 Document Version: 1.0 Abstract The goal of this document is to outline the steps by which the WebSphere Portal System Verification Test (SVT) team tested WebSphere Portal 8.0 Active Site Analytics (ASA) functionality. This document will also document the steps in setting up the configuration as well as the test procedure performed in the environment. Content Introduction The environment included a horizontal Portal cluster. The Portal cluster consisted of a first node and one additional node. The Portal cluster was configured to a remote database and an ITDS LDAP server. IBM Coremetrics was configured as analytics provider. The software versions used in this test environment are as follows: • WebSphere Portal 8.0 • WebSphere Application Server 8.0.0.3 • DB2 9.7.0.1 • IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.3 (ITDS) • IBM HTTP Server 8.0 1. Configuration Diagram 2. Test Drivers The following tests were conducted using HAT-J tool, which is an IBM internal test tool, to simulate multiple users performing their various tasks over specific periods of time. 3.
