The Netprobe makes use of JTOpen library, which is the open-source version of the IBM Toolbox for Java. Users can verify the connectivity to IBMi / AS/400 servers with JPing utility.
The JTOpen library requires multiple ports to communicate with IBMi servers. Users should check Geneos plugin documentation and liaise with their internal IBMi administrator and network team as appropriate.
The Netprobe package includes a jt400-<version>.jar library at the ./jars directory. Users can call the library functions through Java command.
$ java -cp jars/jt400-10.4.jar utilities.AboutToolbox
