In Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge 1.1.0.0 and later, oobping gives you the option to time the requested operation (-e). This can be invaluable when diagnosing a slow connection and determining which phase the problem is occurring in.
A simple example is:
oobping -e -h myserver -t 8888 Host: myserver, Port: 8888 Attempting connection...OK Examining Server... ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server Version: 1.1.0.00 ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server Name: ODBC-ODBC Bridge Time for execution: 0.16s
If this is repeated with -u and -p, you can work out the extra time required to perform the Operating System log on:
oobping -e -h myserver -u myosuser -p mypassword Host: myserver, Port: 8888 Attempting connection...OK Examining Server... ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server Version: 1.1.0.00 ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server Name: ODBC-ODBC Bridge Trying to authenticate...OK Time for execution:0.52s
This example clearly demonstrates the extra time required to authenticate a user.
