Test connectivity cheat-sheet

You can do any of these tests on an openaf-console (e.g. ./oafc or ./openaf-console)

Pure network tests

Test	Command	Results
Test port	`ow.loadNet().testPort("some.host", 12345)`	if false the host couldn’t be reached. true
Test port with timeout	`ow.loadNet().testPort("some.host", 12345, 15000)`	if false the host couldn’t be reached. true otherwise
Test host (ping)	`ow.loadNet().testHost("127.0.0.1")`	{ time: 0, reachable: true }
Test port latency (socket)	`ow.loadNet().testPortLatency("1.1.1.1", 443)`	3
Test URL latency	`ow.loadNet().testURLLatency("https://google.com")`	118
Get IP address from hostname	`ow.loadNet().getHost2IP("one.one.one.one")`	1.1.1.1
Get hostname from IP address	`ow.loadNet().getIP2Host("1.1.1.1")`	one.one.one.one
Test a port with an IPv6 address	`ow.loadNet().testPort("[2001:4860:4860:0:0:0:0:8888]", 443)`	if false the host couldn’t be reached. true

DNS checks

Test	Command	Results
Check the IPv4 results of a DNS query	`ow.loadNet().getDNS("dns.google", "A")`	You should get an array of results.
Check the IPv6 results of a DNS query	`ow.loadNet().getDNS("dns.google", "AAAA")`	You should get an array of results.

For more IPv6 options see Prefer IPv6 over IPv4

Database connection tests

Test	Command	Results
Test connecting to a PostgreSQL database	`(new DB("jdbc:postgresql://hh-pgsql-public.ebi.ac.uk:5432/pfmegrnargs", "reader", "NWDMCE5xdipIjRrp")).q("select 2+2 a")`	{“results”:[{“a”:4}]}
Test connecting to an Oracle database	`(new DB("jdbc:oracle:thin:@myhost:1521:orcl", "scott", "tiger")).q("select 2+2 a from dual")`	{“results”:[{“A”:4}]}
