No Heartbeat

Last Contact: Month dd, yyyy, h:mm <AM|PM>

The Connector heartbeat signal is sent at 5-minute intervals. If the heartbeat signal is lost, verify that the PlateSpin Migrate Connector service is running on the Connector host server.

Verify connectivity between the PTM Server and the Migrate Connector.

Unable to Connect

 

Verify connectivity between the PTM Server and the Migrate Connector.

The second row displays the date and time of the last heartbeat received from the Connector. The Connector sends a heartbeat to PTM every 5 minutes.

NOTE:If an invalid Project ID is used in the Migrate Connector configuration file, PTM Server rejects the connection and the Connector does not appear in the list. When PTM rejects the connection, the Connector service writes a message to the Connector log and shuts down. If the Connector has previously checked in to the PTM Server with a valid Project ID (or was configured to serve all projects), the Connector might be listed with a heartbeat failure.
