6.4.7 Polling Servers
The poll command uses the multicast information to poll responding Oracle JDBC for Rdb
servers:
Each available server will respond with information about which node and port it is
listening on. In addition the poll response identifies the Process ID the server is using on
that node.
A control password is not required to use the poll command.
