Port status event manage

[lukecrouch]

periodically, one of our file-poller ports becomes disabled because of network failure to the polled directory. webmethods suggested I add a Port Status Event Manager that would execute a service to notify me when our port goes down. I think I have done that, but I'm wondering how I can test it?

I added a savePipelineToFile at the beginning of the service to see what the pipeline looked like when it runs. then I disabled the port via the Ports screen in the admin web interface. then I went back into Developer and disabled the savePipelineToFile, and put in a restorePipelineFromFile with the same fileName.

but when I run the service, the pipeline shows the portStatusInfo/enabled = true for the file-polling port. which I wouldn't think it would be.

has anyone written a service for handling port status before that can give me some help?

thanks.

I was able to get thru testing - I got a pipeline that had a disabled port. though I'm not sure how, since manually disabling the port still doesn't seem to fire off a port status event, or at least, it doesn't kick off my service.
