Michael,

This is from an April 2001 response. It may be of some help.

SQLNet is Oracle's TCP implementation.  You could use the custom TCP/IP service, if only you knew what to expect on connect, what to send, and what the response should be.  Might be able to catch that using a protocol analyzer, but eww.

I've been kicking around a custom service plugin for ODBC -- basically specify a data source and a select statement to execute (one that preferably only returns one column of one row, or a row count).  If it gets the cell you're expecting, then all is well.  The trick would be having ODBC use a 'reasonable and customary' timeout.  (I'm not an ODBC programmer -- not sure how one would do this)

You can do a ODBCSetAttribute for timeout in ODBC and set the timeout to whatever the WUG object timeout is.  Thats what I did with my RADIUS plugin, so that you can configure it per object.  Wouldn't be that difficult to write this.  I'm sure I've got some ODBC code somewhere around here. :)

I want to create a custom string to monitor an Oracle server.   Using the NT
service monitor, doesn't show when the service has stopped responding or
anything.   So what I need to know is how to setup the custom string, what
info I need to either send or watch for.
