Appendix A: Validating Connectivity Using cicsping and snaping

How cicsping works

The cicsping utility opens a TCP/IP connection to a CICS region. Then it starts the SYPG transaction on the mainframe and sends a message to SYPG. Finally, cicsping receives an “echo” response from SYPG when it executes successfully.

If your network is configured correctly, cicsping returns a short message. The last two lines should read:

ECHO DATA = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
 	    test completed in 1081ms
