Oracle ASR: Communication Issues

Hello all,
Are you having notifications like this one from you ASR?

ALERT: Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) has detected a heartbeat failure for these assets.

[list with "Serial"; "Hostnam"; "Information" of affected targets]

IMPACT: ASR would not be able to create a Service Request (SR) if a fault were to occur.
ACTION: Determine why the heartbeat has failed for these assets and resolve the issue.

This is only a notification saying that ASR not able to reach a target.
For detailed information on how to troubleshoot, you can access MOS Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) No Heartbeat Issue – How to Resolve (Doc ID 1346328.2)

In general why, things to test are:
– Access from ASR server to transport.oracle.com, via https, using port 443.
– Access from ASR server to ASR assets, via http, using port 6481.

Other related things in case of new configuration is the requirement on Java JDK7.
In case of decomissioning targets, you can receive it if you forget to deactivate Asses from ASR. For that: My Oracle Support > Systems > Asset to locate the Asset serial number and deactivate ASR for the asset.

Check below a some quick validation steps I applied on a issue I had for some targets. In my case was only due a temporary network glitch and got solved after a while.

Hope it helps.
Cheers!
