Verifying Network Connectivity for Siebel CORBA Object Manager

---

You must verify network connectivity between the server and the Siebel Database Server.

To verify network connectivity

Use the test utility for your network type to verify that the Siebel Servers can access the database servers. For TCP/IP networks, you should use the ping utility.
Verify connectivity to the Database Server:
Oracle. Use the tnsping utility and Net8 or Net9 database alias from a Command Prompt window to make sure that you can connect to the database, using the network connect string that you defined in the previous step.
DB2 UDB.Open a new shell and make sure that you can connect to your database.
Type the following command:

DB2 connect to Database Alias user user_ID using password

where:

database_alias is a valid database alias on DB2.

user_ID is a valid user name on DB2.

password is the appropriate password for that user name.

If your connection is valid, you should see a message that looks like the following:

The connection test is successful

Database Server      = DB2/AIX|Solaris x.x.x
SQL authorization ID = SADMIN
Database alias        = NAME

If your connection is not valid, verify your configuration.

To close the connection, type db2 terminate.
