Testing network connectivity

Use the IBM® UrbanCode® Deploy Selfserv tool to test network connectivity to a third-party endpoint URL in your IBM Sterling® Order Management System environment.

About this task

After the network is set up, you can check the connectivity by using this self-serve process.

Procedure

  1. Access the IBM UrbanCode Deploy Selfserv tool dashboard.
  2. From the Dashboard tab, click the main Applications tab.
  3. Within the Applications tab, select your IBM Sterling Order Management System application. Then, click the Environments tab for that application.
    The Environments tab is the entry point for running processes for an application and displays all of the environments for which you have access for the application.

    You can add queues for any of the IBM Sterling Order Management System environments that you have access.

  4. Run the process on the target environment by clicking the Image that shows the Request Process button. Request Process icon for the environment.
    The IBM UrbanCode Deploy Selfserv tool displays a window with options for you to specify and configure the process that you want to run.
  5. In the Run Process window, select Test Network Connectivity from the Process menu.
    Image that shows the Run Process dialog and Test Network Connectivity process selection.
  6. In theThird Party Endpoint URL field, enter the URL that needs to be tested for connectivity. For example, http://api-test.profitpointinc.com:9845/.
    Note: Some options that display in the Run Process window might not be used for completing the process that you selected. For instance, when you select to run an add queue process, the following options are not used. Do not select, change, or specify a value for these options:
    • Only Changed Versions
    • Snapshot
    • Schedule Deployment
    • Description
  7. Click Submit to run the process with your selected options.
    A message is displayed that shows whether the process was successful or not. If the process failed, an HTTP code for the failure is shown.

    To assist with troubleshooting, the IBM UrbanCode Deploy Selfserv tool logs every action that you complete at all levels of an application.
