Setting Up and Testing Connectivity to a Remote Source or Target
Setting Up and Testing Connectivity to a Remote Source or Target
To access a data source or target on a remote system, PowerExchange must be able to communicate with the PowerExchange Listener on the remote system.
On the systems where the PowerExchange Navigator, PowerCenter Client, and PowerCenter Integration Service run, use the ping command to test network access to the remote source or target system.
Add the NODE statement to the dbmover.cfg file on each PowerExchange and PowerCenter system to identify the remote node where the source or target is located. Use the following syntax:
NODE=(
node_name
,TCPIP,
ipaddress_or_hostname
,
port_number
)
To determine the port number, consult with the person who installed the PowerExchange Listener on the remote system.
Run the DTLREXE ping utility on the local PowerExchange system to test connectivity to the remote PowerExchange Listener that you defined in the NODE statement.
