Description

The Ping Pong process allows testing connections to other (remote) DSF FHIR Endpoints. The following kinds of connections are tested:

  • local DSF FHIR Server -> local BPE
  • local BPE -> remote DSF FHIR Server
  • remote DSF FHIR Server -> local DSF FHIR Server
  • remote DSF FHIR Server -> remote BPE
  • remote BPE -> local DSF FHIR Server
  • local DSF FHIR Server -> remote DSF FHIR Server

The Ping Pong process will link to a page which contains troubleshooting tips if the connection fails for known reasons. In order to test connections between DSF FHIR Servers, the process creates a Binary resource containing random data. Sending a reference to this resource to another DSF FHIR Server causes the server to verify the existence of the referenced resource on the requesting DSF FHIR Server, thus testing the connection. This allows the process to also be used to measure connection speeds as the Binary resource gets downloaded during execution and deleted before the process finishes. This means the process also tests the ability to transfer data, which can be helpful to make sure the DSF installation is properly set up in preparation for other process plugins involving data transfers.
