LOTUS CONNECTORS

Testing LEI Connections with CONTEST
CONTEST attempts to connect using LEI connections defined in the LEI Administrator. It tests the ability to make a connection using the information found in the LEI Connection Document. CONTEST must be run with an active LEI server.

Syntax

The syntax for using CONTEST is as follows:

[n]contest [Options] <connection1> <connection2>...<connectionn>

[Options]

n denotes the optional parameter: -p. This parameter displays the connector properties.

... denotes actual connection names (use quotation marks if spaces exist in the connection names).

Typing [n]contest with no input parameters results in Help information being displayed.
