Pinging ebMS partners
About this task
From the Test Partner connection page, you can ping ebMS partners. This means
that you can send a ping message to a partner, and, if the partner is up and ready
to receive, the partner responds with a pong message. Once you upload a CPA, the
ping-pong connection is created.
For the Ping to work connections have to be defined with the partner involved.
For details, see the section for pinging ebMS partners in the WebSphere Partner
Gateway Hub Configuration Guide.
To ping an ebMS partner, complete the following steps:
1. Click Tools > Test Partner Connection.
2. For Command, select PING ebMS.
3. Select From Partner and To Partner.
4. Optionally, select a Destination or type a URL.
5. Click Test to send a ping message.
To determine the status of the ping message, click Ping Status. The status for the
last ping request then displays under Results.
Note: The last ping request may have been initiated from the Test Partner
Connection or from a Document Viewer re-send of an existing Ping document.
