Running Diagnostic Checks with iCDB Server Manager

You can run diagnostic checks on the database, the RSCM Server, and the ports for any iCDB Server in the list. These diagnostics are available from Tools > Diagnostics.

Database Diagnostics

Tools > Diagnostics > Check Database. Checks the internal consistency of the database.

RSCM Server Diagnostics

Tools > Diagnostics > RSCM. Tests whether the RSCM Server can open the project specified in the Project Path.

Port Diagnostics

Tools > Diagnostics > Ports. Tests either applications or ports for network activity and broadcast size.

The Test applications radio button allows you to test the port activity of the iCDB Server (Server), RSCM Server (Launcher), and Server Manager (Monitor). Also gives the maximum size of UDP broadcasts.

The Test ports radio button allows you to test if either TCP/IP or UDP ports are available, and if so, what is the maximum size. Use to test which ports are available if the default ports are unavailable.

Note:

UDP port are tested by sending a broadcast to the subnet for defined ports, so you should be careful about using a large range of ports (the operation can be long). Also be aware that your network can have security enabled to interpret the UDP test as an overload of the sub-network attached to this machine. It could turn off the network card to this machine.

The ports test does not detect firewall blocking. If the firewall is set to block iCDBNetLauncher (RSCM Server) or iCDBNetServer (iCDB Server) processes, this ports test will show the port as open.
