Check Alfresco start-up

barrie_smith — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 07:56:23 GMT

Any ideas on how I might check that Alfresco has completed its initialization after starting Tomcat? I had in mind some sort of script or application, but I don't know what to check.Initialization takes approx 5 minutes and it would save repeatedly checking the alfresco.log file.I'm running on Windo

Hello,

simplest method: Make a ReST call on any GET ReST API web script you know has to succed - once a result is returned, Alfresco has completed starting up or failed to do so, when the result contains an error code.

Axel

I have used the Rest call for login

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login?u=guest&pw=??????

If this responds with a ticket, then Alfresco has started.

Try the call in your browser
