what exactly does test method "check Oracle server"

Post by dkallen »

My dba wants to know because we are getting intermittent reports of it going down then right back up again in KS-Host Monitor.
If I know exactly what it does that might help him.
Is it "tnsping xxx"?
Is it "select 4 from dual?"
What?
thanks very much.

p.s. Great product. I'm liking the trial version so far: web interface, dependencies, lots of flexibility...

When HostMonitor performs Oracle test it uses OCIServerAttach and OCISessionBegin fuctions (oci.dll) to create a user session and begins a user session for a given server. If session established, HostMonitor closes session and sets "host is alive" status.
