Ping command does not work

Hi,

My code runs like this:

	Code:
	Ping ( ip_address, server_alive) IfThen(server_alive, Done) Send an email to sys adm Done: exit

I found that the ping command always gives FALSE to sever_alive boolean. When I pinged the ip_address at command prompt, it gave a successful reply.

Please help.

Try using server name instead of IP address. You may have an issue with data type conversion.

Hi,

I tried but it still does not work. The server name is correct as the code can run in development environment. In the production PC, I can ping the server at command prompt but in script, the ping still returns a failure.

Tks.

I suspect, you got something wrong in the script. Please post the complete script. If you don't want to show the actual server name, replace it with some dummy text.
