To test the connectivity and status of a remote PowerExchange Listener, run the DTLREXE utility with the
ping
program. Configure the NODE statement for the remote PowerExchange Listener in the DBMOVER configuration file.
The syntax for running the utility varies by operating system.
On Linux, UNIX, and z/OS, use the following general syntax:
dtlrexe loc=
node_name
prog=ping [uid=
user_id
] [pwd=
password
]
On i5/OS, use the following syntax:
CALL PGM(DTLREXE) PARM('prog=ping loc=
node_name
[uid=
user_id
] [pwd=
password
]’)
On z/OS or i5/OS, if the PowerExchange Listener is running with a setting of 1 or 2 in the first parameter of the SECURITY statement, you must include the user ID and password.
On UNIX, if a password includes a dollar ($) sign, DTLREXE receives only the portion of the password up to dollar ($) sign. To resolve this problem, enclose the password in single-quotation marks, which act as escape characters:
If DTLREXE successfully contacts the PowerExchange Listener, PowerExchange issues the following messages:
