How can i configure my SQL Anywhere 12.0.1 database to listen and respond to ISO messages e.g the ISO message 0800 which pings the database?

Why would you like to want to to that? IMHO, responding to PINGing is a task for the network stack, not for the database engine.

If you want to check whether a particular database engine or database is available in the network, you might use the DBLOCATE and DBPING utilities.

Thanks Volker, was considering logging each time i get the ISO echo message as am interfacing two systems so would like to find out which system was responsible for the break in communication

Some ideas:

If you are logging the messages outside the two databases, you could use SNMP to query the version and log when the query fails:

If you are logging inside the database you could setup a remote procedure call to a local procedure that selects the version and log when that fails:

Are you referring to ISO 8583, this is a financial application level message standard. I am not aware, that any database system is declaring to be in conformance with a business communication standard other than SQL...
