You can use OpenEdge Management to determine if a particular machine is available.

To discover network resources:

  1. Select Resources > Discover > Network Resources in the OpenEdge Management console menu.
    The Discover Network Resources page appears and displays all the resources managed by the console.
  2. Do either of the following:
    • To search for IPv4 resources, enter a range of IPv4 Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in the Starting Address and Ending Address fields. This activity enables OpenEdge Management to discover machine and port information.

      To simplify your entries in the Starting Address and Ending Address fields, OpenEdge Management provides the first two fields of your local host in each of these entries. To enter a valid starting address, you must append these partially provided values with the remaining two fields.

      Both the Starting Address and the Ending Address must begin with the same values.

    • To search for IPv6 resources, click Discover active resources under IPv6 Network Host. The Discover IPv6 Port Resources page appears.

      Type the host name or address.

  3. Click Discover. The Discovery Status page appears.
    Note: How quickly the page appears depends on the number of resources OpenEdge Management must PING and the time it takes to perform this activity.

    The Discovery Status page displays and updates the status of the discovery process as resources and ports associated with the IP addresses are scanned. PING information obtained for active resources, and UDP and TCP ports that are discovered to be active, are reported and updated on this page approximately every three seconds.

    Once the discovery process ends, the Discovery Results page appears.

    The following details about discovered resources are returned and presented if a machine is available:

    • TCP and/or UDP port data
    • Machine name

    The icon that displays next to a discovered resource indicates whether the resource is a TCP port, a UDP port, or an ICMP resource.
