These rules check that an Oracle Server machine is running and accessible over the network.

The Rules provide the following options for checking connectivity:

• Ping
• TCP/IP port scan (Oracle Listener Port 1521 for example)
• Win32 API call response
• Oracle logon test
• Checking the availability of a Cluster node object (an Oracle cluster resource for example)

When performing an Oracle logon test to an Oracle Server, the Rule will attempt to logon using the Oracle logon credentials specified in the server’s Node properties of the Licensed Servers Manager.
