Testing Ping Operation Using RV Transport

To test the ping operation using RV transport, setup and configure Apache module.

Prerequisites

Install TIBCO Rendezvous product.
Setup and configure Apache HTTP server.
Make sure that you have configured TIBCO API Exchange Gateway Apache Module.
Enable the RV communication for the gateway. Refer to the TIBCO API Exchange Gateway User's Guide.

Start the Core Engine.
Refer to the following log file to check if the Core Engine started successfully, or if there are any errors.

ASG_CONFIG_HOME/logs/asg-caching-core.log
Open a web browser and type the following URL:

http://hostname:port/ping

Note: hostname is the machine on which Apache HTTP Server runs and port is the listening port for Apache HTTP Server as configured in APACHE_HOME/conf/httpd.conf file. The default value is 8080.
For example, type the following URL to send a ping operation request using the RV transport and Apache module:

http://localhost:8080/ping
Verify that the following message is displayed in the browser window:
```
ASG is alive
