Do you ping by name or ipaddress?

Do you ping by name or ipaddress?

Earlier I have used only name, but just now i cheched out with both name and IP, both were working.

Ping doesn't tell you much. It could be that ping is allowed on the internal network but that the ACL on the routers are set in such a manner that connections on certain ports are not allowed, or that from one IP range to an other connections are refused.
I had once a problem connection to a database, i was able to ping but firewall was blocking the actual connection.

Best that you check with a network engineer to see if you can connect to the target from your machine / ip range

Were you having DS 7.x running with the same configuration?

In my case we were migrating DS 7.X to DS 8.X.
DS 8 was running on a new machine and the ACL of the firewall did not allow me to make an ODBC connection to the database, something that did work on DS 7.X
I also tried pinging the machine from the new Datastage8 server, which was no problem, so in the end i went to the network engineers. They told me that the ACLs in the firewall did not allow me connection.

Sainath.Srinivasan,

I didnt have 7.X and I'm working on 8.0
