Re: Check active instance

[Rob Berendt <robertowenberendt@xxxxxxxxx>]

What we find useful is to have a test page on that instance.  So if I go to
the internal website https://dekkohome.dekko.com/gdintranet.nsf/edge I will
get a simple text that says the name of that server serving up that
website.  Just a few simple characters.  So now I can use this in Run SQL
Scripts:
values systools.httpgetclob('https://dekkohome.dekko.com/gdintranet.nsf/edge',
'');
and the results will show the name of that server.
So it's not hard to expand that in a program and put VALUES... INTO... and
get it into a variable.  If the variable is null you have an issue.

Sidenote:  That url goes through an IBM load balancer called edge.  From
there it goes to a preference order of Domino servers, all served on IBM
i.  If one IBM i site is down for maintenance, no problem.  The Edge server
uses that same test page to see if the server is up and if not, goes to the
next in the preference list.
dekkohome is an internal site listing holidays, where to buy company
apparel, etc.
