Verify that the sifter is functioning

Use the following procedure to verify that the sifter is functioning correctly:

1. Make sure the LikeMinds database has transaction data.

   Attention: This procedure will work only if the LikeMinds database has transaction data. Also, shut down the WC_LikeMinds server in WebSphere Application Server to input database configuration changes.

2. Stop the WC_LikeMinds server in WebSphere Application Server.

3. In the Lps_User_Data table, update all values in the sift_pri column to the numeric value "1".

   For example:

   update lps_user_data set sift_pri = 1
   

4. Delete all rows in the Lps_Trx_Mentor table.

   For example:

   delete from lps_trx_mentor
   

5. Delete all rows in the mentor pool table (that is, Lps_Trx_Pool).

   For example:

   delete from lps_trx_pool
   

6. Start the WC_LikeMinds server inside WebSphere Application Server.

7. If the instance is working correctly, you should see records begin to accumulate in the lps_trx_mentor table, and the lps_trx_pool table as customers browse the site.
