Handling Installation Problems

Go Up to Troubleshooting InterClient Programs

Call interbase.interclient.InstallTest to test an InterClient installation. InstallTest provides two static methods for testing the installation. A static main is provided as a command line test that prints to System.out. main() uses the other public static methods that test specific features of the installation. These methods can be used by a GUI application as they return strings, rather than writing the diagnostics to System.out as main() does. InstallTest allows you to:

• determine InterClient driver version information
• determine installed packages
• check basic network configuration
• test making a connection directly without the DriverManager with driver.connect()
• test making a connection with DriverManager.getConnection()
• get SQL Exception error messages
