FUSPING Utility

MFT Platform Server FUSPING utility can be used to determine the version and release of MFT Platform Server products and determine if MFT Platform Server on a remote system is active. Data returned from the FUSPING utility could include information such as system name and product version.

The program is called FUSPING. On IBM i, the parameters are case insensitive and is delimited by a space or a colon. The responder returns system and MFT Platform Server versions to the initiator. User ID and password are not validated in this program. You do not need a user ID or password to perform a FUSPING request. However, the remote system must be configured to accept a FUSPING request by adding the Command Center Support parameter with a value of PING or ALL. If an error is detected by the responder, a message that contains the cause of the failure is generated.
