Verifying the server address

 Ping a server to verify a server address
Note

Database connections are not verified. Verifying a network connection confirms that a server is receiving requests on the computer name and port number specified. It does not verify anything about database connections.

  1. Ensure that the database server is running.

  2. In the Server box of the DSEdit session window, click the server entry.

  3. Click Server Object » Ping Server.

  4. Select the address you want to ping and click Ping.

    A window appears, notifying you whether the connection is successful. A window for a successful connection states that both open connection and close connection succeeded.
