Can I ping a docbroker?

Often times it becomes necessary to know which Docbases a Docbroker is aware of. One of the typical scenario’s that this becomes necesssary is when you are at a client’s site and the connection to docbase is not happening and you need to be doubly sure that the docbroker is not just up, but it knows of the docbase you want to connect to. And ofcourse, if you need any health check scripts, this comes handy.

dmqdocbroker: This is it. And here’s the usage:

usage: dmqdocbroker [-h[elp]]
usage: dmqdocbroker [-t[arget_host] ] -i[nteractive] -p[ort]

usage: dmqdocbroker [-t[arget_host] ] [-a[cs_map]] [-s[ilent]] -c[ommand] -p[ort]query>
where :
ping
getdocbasemap
getservermap
getnextdocbaseid
checkfordocbaseid
isaserveropen

FLAGS:
