The socket DSA provides a command line client that you
can use to test the availability of socket servers, including the
sample server provided in the DSA tar file. You use this client to
send messages to a socket server using a simple command line input.
The client is named TestClient and is located in
the DSA jar file.
Procedure
- To test the socket server, enter the following command
at a command-line prompt on the system where you are running Tivoli Netcool®/Impact:
java -cp [$Impact_home]/wlp/usr/servers/NCI_A/apps/NCI_A.ear/nci.jar
com.micromuse.dsa.socketdsa.TestClient hostname port
Where hostname is the name
of the system where the socket server is running and port is
the port number used by the server.
- To test the availability of a socket server, enter the
following string at the command line:
hi
The test client sends this
string to the socket server and prints the response. If the socket
server is running correctly, the response will be a hi string
identical to the one sent from the command line.
What to do next
You can perform additional testing by entering additional
strings at the command line, following the command sequence documented
in the code comments in Server.pl.
