Testing Client Connectivity

Once you’ve configured a client, there are several ways to test connectivity. Net8 Assistant and Net8 Easy Config each provide you with the option of testing net service names as you define them. Here are some other options at your disposal:

  • Use your operating system’s ping utility to test basic TCP/IP connectivity between a client and a server.

  • Use Oracle’s tnsping utility to test connectivity to a Net8 listener.

  • Use the Oracle Names Control ping command to test connectivity to a specific names server.

  • Use SQL*Plus to verify that you can actually connect and log in to a database.

Chapter 10 describes each of these techniques in detail.
