Stat 6.3 - System Administration Guide

Testing File Locations, Servers, and Default Directory Locations

You can test the connection between Stat and any file location, server, directory or change management environment by selecting the row and clicking Test Connection. This directs Stat to test its connectivity to the selected file location, file server, directory or environment. If successful, Stat displays a “Connection Successful” message box. If Stat is unable to connect, it displays a message box stating the cause of the failure, for example, “User ID or Password is not defined.” The connection between Stat and the file server is always established by the Stat Central Agent. For this reason, ensure that the Stat Central Agent is up and running before testing any connections.
