Greetings All, I am writing a VB app that interfaces with and Oracle
database. One of
the things that I would like to do is to mimic the functionality of the
tnsping utility that comes
with the Oracle client. So, my question is this. Does anybody know of
where I can get my hands on specs for the protocol used when tnsping talks
to the listener? Is there source code for tnsping anywhere? Does anybody
know what tnsping asks of listener when tnsping is invoked? I was thinking
of using a sniffer program to watch the request made by tnsping and the
response that comes back from the listener. Any and all help would be
greatly appreciated.
