How to ping the internet communication manager?

[former_member800700]

How do I find out the URL that I need to visit in order to ping the Internet communication manager of my company's SAP application server?

I am following some training material that says to visit http://twd0042.wdf.sap.corp:8010/sap/public/ping but this obviously applies to a training server they set up for the course. I am trying to find the equivalent URL for the application server that our company is using

That is an ICM URL which is using SICF service.

Simply go to SICF and enable the sap -> public -> ping service

As per you own URL should be http://<hostname>.<fqdn>:<http_port>/sap/public/ping

I tried that. I right clicked on "ping" and selected "test service". It opened a browser window with a URL of the same form that you mentioned in your reply. But then it says "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NX_DOMAIN". I don't understand why exactly that is happening even though the service is "activated".

My guess is that URL would only work via intranet and not via the internet. I can't test my hypothesis though since I am working remotely atm
