RE: Checking if a web server service is running from green screen

If you really want to push the envelope check to see if the website returns a set value. For example we can use this not only to see if a service is running but if it is actually talking to a server and returning an expected value.

-- If the website is unavailable you will get an sql state of 38000 or an sql code of SQL4302.
values systools.httpgetclob('http://dekkohome.corp.dekko.com/gdintranet.nsf/edge', '');


-- To check for SQL4302
Select
MESSAGE_ID, -- The message ID for this message.
MESSAGE_TEXT -- The first level text of the message including tokens.
from table(qsys2.joblog_info('*')) A
-- where message_id='SQL4302'
order by ordinal_position desc
fetch first row only;
