Verifying that the Profiles Worker is running correctly

View tracing information in the log files to help you verify that the Profiles Worker is running as expected.

About this task

The Profiles Worker is the process that sends the user lifecycle commands to the other IBM Connections™ applications. The Profiles Worker propagates user data, such as user metadata and state, from the Profiles database to the other applications. This process is run every 30 seconds.

Procedure

  1. Verify that the lifecycle events scheduled task is enabled. Open profiles-config.xml, search for the ProcessLifeCycleEventsTask scheduled task and ensure that enabled is set to true.
    For information about how to enable trace logging, see Enabling traces in WebSphere® Application Server.
  2. To verify that the Profiles Worker is running as expected, check SystemOut.log for the following lines:
