Remarks

When you create or update an element, it is possible to first test the connection with the data you entered before creating or updating the element:

  • If you click a Test connection button, you will either get a "Connection successful" message or an error message explaining why the test failed.
  • If a Test connection button is disabled, hover over it to see the reason why it is disabled.

You can only test connections for which a ping group has been defined in the protocol. When you click Test connection, the ping group for that connection will be executed. If this execution results in a timeout, the connection test will fail.

Note

Current limitations:

  • Only main connections can be tested.
  • SNMPv3 connections can only be tested from DataMiner 9.5.12 onwards.
  • Ping groups are not executed when an element is in slow poll mode.

Feature introduced in DataMiner 9.5.7 (RN 16626, RN 16633).
