Hi,
Is there any way I can ping a server from WMB and get a response? Or is there any way I can check the availability of the server?
thanks in advance, |

step 1: identify the mechanisms that the server provides for accepting requests to determine that it is alive.
step 2: identify the mechanisms that exist in Broker that are capable of using at least one of the mechanisms in step 1. |

step 1: I can use the ping command from AIX to check the server availability. no FTP/SFTP
step 2: I do not know if there is something in WMB like this. |

| Well, you can use the TCPIP nodes to send any kind of network request you want. |

| But what happens if the server dies just after it responds to your ping? |

Why would you want to? What use or advantage does this give you?

In a JCN, you can have the following:
| Code: |
InetAddress address =
InetAddress.getByName("www.somecompany_url.com");
qreachable =address.isReachable(1024*4);
if(qreachable=true) //Yes, we can !
else //no we cannot
