The ctmping utility tests, configures, and reports on the connection and availability between Control-M/Server and Control‑M/Agents or remote host computers. To run the ctmping utility, see Running the ctmping utility.
ctmping can be included in the Watchdog process. For more information, see Watchdog process parameters.
This utility can check if an agent or remote host is down and, if required, register it in the database as unavailable. When the agent or remote host again becomes available, the state is changed and information about it is gathered by a Control‑M/Server process.
You cannot ping the agent if the agent is upgrading. When the agent becomes available again, then you can ping the agent. The following error message appears:
Cannot ping the agent. Agent is upgrading.
