There are many troubleshooting scenarios where an administrator will need to verify that the IdentityIQ application is able to communicate to remote applications. Traditionally, this test has been performed via the 'Test Connection' button within the Application Definition UI.
When an environment contains a great many applications and there is a concern that one or more may not be responsive, the UI Test Connection mechanism can be an onerous trial-and-error process. Fortunately, the IIQ Console provides an analogous mechanism that accepts this syntax:
> conn [application name] test
In order to perform a comprehensive survey of all configured applications' responsiveness, you can use the following syntax to run a global Test Connection:
# echo 'search application name' | ./iiq console| sed 's/^> //g' | grep -v "^$" | sed 's/^/conn "/' |sed 's/$/" test/'|./iiq console
The results will not be labelled, but you can run the first command 'search application name' within IIQ Console to see the mapping of results to application names.
