Re: who to test connect string from a job

TNSPING is an utility to test connectivity during configuration, not during exploitation.

I guess what you actually need to do is to check at runtime if a node is available and
then to do some operation on it. To do something with the other node you'll need to
use a database link. I would suggest to do some dummy operation, like "select * from
dual_at_eee.acme.com" and check if it returns an exception. Or, even more simple,
just try to do what you need and check for exceptions.
