Verifying Connectivity

To verify connectivity between Sterling Connect:Direct® and Sterling B2B Integrator:

About this task

1. Check configurations on Sterling Connect:Direct and Sterling B2B Integrator for compliance. In particular, look at the network maps on both systems.
2. Verify that the Sterling Connect:Direct nodes in question are active when a begin session is invoked.
3. Verify that perimeter services client connects to perimeter services server. If the client cannot connect, it causes the perimeter services-enabled Connect:Direct Server Adapter to fail.

   Perimeter servers do not automatically reboot after a failure.

   To determine the status of the perimeter services client in Sterling B2B Integrator:

   From the Sterling B2B Integrator Operations menu, select Troubleshooter.

   Look for the Perimeter Servers area. It is usually at the bottom of the Troubleshooting page. This shows the state of the perimeter server clients which are defined in Sterling B2B Integrator and whether they are on.

   Disconnected is displayed if no perimeter server is installed.
