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:
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Use the Windows 2000 Programs > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC) or Windows NT Control Panel - ODBC icon to verify that the proper ODBC driver has been installed and to create and test a data source to your 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.Use a DB2 Command Window and make sure that you can connect to your database.
- Choose Start >Programs >(IBM DB2) or (DB2 for Windows NT) >Command Window, and type:
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:
Database Connection Information
Database Server = DB2/NT x.x.x
SQL authorization ID = SADMIN
Database alias =DB Alias
If your connection is not valid, verify your configuration.
CAUTION: Be sure to use the Command Window for this procedure and not the Command Line Processor window that appears directly above it. The Command Line Processor window looks similar to a Command Window, but it uses slightly different syntax. For this procedure, the commands do not work in a Command Line Processor window; they must be issued in a Command Window.
- To close the connection, type
db2 terminate
.NOTE: You can also use the DB2 Command Center GUI tool to do this.
