Validating your SDL Online Editor deployment
To make sure that you deployed SDL Online Editor successfully, you need to check the status of each service both in the Services window and by making calls to several health monitoring endpoints.
Procedure
- On the machine on which you installed SDL Online Editor, go to the Services panel and check the status of the following three services: SDL Editor Service Router, SDL Editor Service, and SDL BCM Service.
- If each service has the Started status, go to the next step.
- If one or more services has the Stopped status or any other status which indicates that the service is not running, stop all three services, and then start them again in this particular order: SDL Editor Service Router (first), SDL Editor Service (second), SDL BCM Service (last).
- Make a call to each of the following health monitoring endpoints by typing it in your browser's address bar, and then pressing Enter:
In this case, <oe_host> refers to the IP address or the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which SDL Online Editor is installed.
Service Endpoint Comments SDL BCM Service <protocol>://<oe_host>:<bcm_port>/bcms/health - If the service is working properly, the status is
UP(<Status>UP</Status>). - If the service is not working properly, the status is
DOWN(<Status>DOWN</Status) or the page is not displayed.
SDL Editor Service <protocol>://<oe_host>:<oe_port>/api/es/health - If the service is working properly, the status in
UP(<Status>UP</Status>). - If the service is not working properly, the status is
DOWN(<Status>DOWN</Status>).
Tip: If this service is still down after a couple of minutes, restart it by executingservices.mscin PowerShell.SDL Editor Service Router <protocol>://<oe_host>:<oe_router_port>/api/esrouter/health If the service is working properly, the status is UP("status":"UP").- If the endpoints suggest that all three services are working properly, you have successfully deployed SDL Online Editor.
- If any of the services is not working properly, stop all three services, and then start them again in this particular order: SDL Editor Service Router (first), SDL Editor Service (second), SDL BCM Service (last). When finished, call the endpoints again. For the deployment to be successful, all the services need to be working properly.
- If the service is working properly, the status is
