Pinging Remote Nodes

Use the Node Status page to ping remote nodes.

A successful ping indicates that the remote node is available to receive transactions. An unsuccessful ping could indicate that the node, gateway, or both are not running.

To ping a remote node:

1. Access the Node Status page (PeopleTools > Integration Broker > Service Operations Monitor > Administration > Node Status).

2. In the Ping a Node to Determine Availability section, select the node in the Message Node Name drop-down list box to display a list of active nodes.

   The Location column in the grid below reveals the locations defined for the node.

3. Click the Ping Node button.

   The Node Information Section displays connector information defined for the node.

You can also ping remote nodes from the Send Master utility as well as the Simple Post utility.
