The cicsping utility verifies that the TCP/IP connection between the z/OS mainframe and the server is configured and operating correctly. Sybase recommends running cicsping before you install Transaction Router Service (TRS) or DirectConnect Access Service Library (ACSLIB).
DirectConnect does not need to be active when you run cicsping. The mainframe component of cicsping, SYPG, does not use Open ServerConnect or MainframeConnect for DB2 UDB; the cicsping utility only tests the network connection between the machine where you are running DirectConnect on the LAN and CICS at the z/OS mainframe.
You can use cicsping to collectively test all CICS regions defined to TRS or to test connectivity to one region at a time.
