The Baader–Meinhof phenomenon – IT edition.
Connections Check, one of our network diagnostic tools, automatically discovers servers and their ports – typically dozens in a BOBJ environment – and tests their availability.
A Real Case
A customer reported slow BOBJ workflows.
HTTP traces narrowed the delay down to a single call. System load was low.
Next suspect – the network. Plenty of possibilities, but why not start with the ports?
ONE click in BiWhy.
And there it is – unreachable ports explaining the slowdown. The results even let us deduce the specific firewall rule responsible.
