XI ping or other check for connection

[Former Member]

Hi expert,

I use XI 3.0 and I've a great problem of connection between various countries.

Sometimes the network go down and all XI interface continue to try to connect.

Do you know if exist a method for do one check for connection before the execution, if the net is down wait N second otherwise all interfaces start.

Thanx in advance

Hi,

here is a JAVA for PING:

import java.net.*;

public class Ping {

public static void main(String args[]) {

try {

InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName("QUALIFIEDHOSTNAME");

System.out.println("Name: " + address.getHostName());

System.out.println("Addr: " + address.getHostAddress());

System.out.println("Reach: " + address.isReachable(3000));

}

catch (UnknownHostException e) {

System.err.println("Unable to lookup QUALIFIEDHOSTNAME");

}

catch (IOException e) {

System.err.println("Unable to reach QUALIFIEDHOSTNAME");

}

}

}

Hello

What exact XI adpaters do you use?

Depending on which adapters you use, there are different parameters that can be used to counteract this issue. There are different Timeout/Reconnect parameters which can be used.

Check the individual sender/receiver adapter configuration documents in the SAP on line help. These document the timeout/reconnect parameters that can be configured for the specific XI adapters.
