Running Diagnostics

Access the Round-Trip Test page by selecting PeopleTools, Search Framework, Search Admin Activity Guide, under Testing and Utilities, then select Round-Trip Test.

The round-trip test performs a set of diagnostic steps using a test search definition, delivered with PeopleTools named RNTRPTST. It provides end-to-end diagnostic tests to verify and troubleshoot the PeopleSoft and search engine integration.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Round-Trip Test page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

  1. Ping Test: Runs a ping test against the search engine server instance defined for your system.

  2. Deploy: Deploys the RNTRPTST search definition and associated category to the search engine.

  3. Crawl: Runs a test crawl using the RNTRPTST definition.

  4. Search: Runs a sample search based on the index populated by the RNTRPTST search definition.

  5. Cleanup: Click to remove the deployment of the RNTRPTST search definition and run any related cleanup tasks.
