Re: CWBPING ( PING by port # ) in a CL program -- MIDRANGE-L

I can't help you with CWBPING, but I have written a utility that you can put in a CL program that will check if a server is listening on a given TCP port number.

You can download it from the following link:

This utility was written for my newsletter (Club Tech iSeries Programing Tips) If you're a Pro member of the iSeries Network, you can read the article at the following link: http://www.iseriesnetwork.com/provipcenter/index.cfm?fuseaction=ShowNewsletterIssue&ID=20095

Hello all,

We need to run a chewck on specific port numbers every so often.

The Client Access - CWBPING facility will do this for us at V5R3

From the "Windows Command Prompt" we can run the command . . . : CWBPING

servername /port:# ]
and we just look at the results

However the requirement is to run as part of a CL program, to run in batch
and to be able to read the "message results"

As a side note

In the past we have used the TCP/IP API QtocLstNetCnn,  NCNN0100 Format
But we discovered that the information pertaining to the TCP/IP state is
not reliable.
If the API tells me that it is listening, this does not guarantee a
connection
