Tests Performed on the OpenVMS Server
The Distributed NetBeans client provides a diagnostic tool that can be run from the client to verify the connectivity and setup of the client and server.
To access the diagnostic tool, right click on the Remote IDE Servers node in the Runtime tab.

You are then prompted for a remote host name and username/password.

After you enter the required information, a report is produced in the output pane.
Following is a sample diagnostic report.
