TCP port range monitor

deverts

All,

I'm having a hard time figuring out a way to accomplish this task...

We have an Oracle application that changes port numbers each time the service is restarted.  It is running on a pair of ports right now, but tonight when they restart the service for maintenance, it will be brought back online with a new pair of ports.  The port pairs are static, so the application will only use 1 pair or the other.

Any ideas how to configure a tcp port monitor for this?  Or is there a better way to monitor availability of the application?

So this problem with changing port is only happening with Oracle?

You would have two options here:

1.) Use Oracle User Experience monitor, which will actually connect to Oracle SQL server and will execute SQL command to verify database works

2.) Use ODBC User Experience monitor for the same purpose
