How to test if multicast is working in a Sterling B2B Integrator cluster

I share here a few tips to check the cluster status:

• Go to Operations/System/Cluster/Node Status and verify that all the cluster nodes are active:

• This same information can be obtained with this SQL query:

SELECT * from OPS_NODE_INFO

• Another way to check the cluster is to look for the following messages in noapp.log. Check that all the cluster members have joined the cluster on every node:

GLOBAL_SCOPE ** Member joined: ipaddressnode1:mcastport> 

• Finally, use the following Business Process to check if the inter-node BP distribution is working with this sample multicast test BP. This process will run different steps across all the cluster node. Change the BP to include all your cluster nodes:

node1
current_time
yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS









node2
current_time
yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS
