Using Send Master to Ping Remote Nodes

To ping a remote node from the Send Master, you post an example service operation to the node’s application server using an Integration Broker (MIME) or Integration Broker (XML) project that specifies a ping service operation type. You then use the Post button to post the service operation to the application server.

The following table describes the type of response returned based on project type.

Project Type	Response
Integration Broker (MIME)	The system returns a MIME response message in the Output Information section of the Project work space. If you post data to a PeopleSoft listening connector, the MIME response appears in the Output Information section of the Project work space. A message with the content <StatusCode>0</StatusCode> indicates that the ping was successful.
Integration Broker (XML)	The system returns an HTTP response of 404 with data in the response in the Output Information section of the Project work space.
