How to use OAM 11g Access Tester

OAM 11g has an inbuilt Access Tester which is used to test connectivity and troubleshooting with the actual physical deployment. Unlike OAM 10g Access Tester, OAM 11g Access Tester will verify the connectivity at run time. I would like to talk about the steps for using Access Tester in OAM 11g.

  1. Copy the jars oamtest.jar and nap-api.jar located at $ORACLE_HOME/oam/server/tester in OAM deployed machine to your local  system where you want to test the policies.
  2. Ensure that Java 1.6 is present in your environment. Test it using command line statement java -version.
