wm.server:ping

What is the purpose of this service? Is it really needed? Isn’t it a security risk sending pings through the Internet, especially since I a lot of places don’t allow pings to go through?

Thanks,
Chris Paluch

It is actually an application level ping. This service is used by the client to ensure that the established session with the Integration Server does not timeout.

Typically it is the result of network outages.
