4. Validate the Installation

Use these steps to validate your installation.

  1. If you are using a non-Derby database, copy your database connector jar file into /usr/lib/oozie/libext.

  2. Run the setup script to prepare the Oozie Server.

    cd /usr/lib/oozie/
    bin/oozie-setup.sh prepare-war
    chmod 777 -R /var/log/oozie
    ln -s /etc/oozie/conf/action-conf /etc/oozie/conf.dist/action-conf
  3. Create the Oozie DB schema

    cd /usr/lib/oozie/
    bin/ooziedb.sh create -sqlfile oozie.sql -run Validate DB Connection
  4. Start the Oozie server:

    <login as $oozie_user>
    cd /usr/lib/oozie/
    /usr/lib/oozie/bin/oozie-start.sh
  5. Confirm that you can browse to the Oozie server:

    http://{oozie.full.hostname}:11000/oozie
  6. Access the Oozie Server with the Oozie client.

    oozie admin -oozie http://$oozie.full.hostname:11000/oozie -status 

    You should see the following output:

    System mode: NORMAL
