2. Go to General Settings view.

7. Error 'Checking connection failed' is thrown, possibly with more information such as: "Ping failed" and "Forbidden".

This Button is meant to Test a Connection between C4C and an Outside system, when the URL used is a OData Endpoint within the same C4C Tenant, it may not behave correctly, throwing errors. This does not mean that the Arrangement is not working, as this is an Issue with the Check Connection function, not the OData Service.

It is possible to test if the service is correctly working by performing a simple GET call, if the endpoint returns a response payload, there are no issues with the Service.
In case of SDK environment to build a PDI which calls the endpoint, there is no "Check Connection" option, it is necessary to use a GET call to test instead, as stated above.
