Goal

Cannot ping Elasticsearch, it shows the error-

PTSF_ES.ESIMPL.JsonService.OnExecute Name:hmacAuthenticationHeader PCPC:8935 Statement:137
Called from:PTSF_RNDTRP_WRK.PINGNODE_BTN.FieldFormula Name:doServiceStringCustom Statement:3
Called from:PTSF_RNDTRP_WRK.PINGNODE_BTN.FieldFormula Name:Ping Statement:64
Called from:PTSF_RNDTRP_WRK.PINGNODE_BTN.FieldChange Statement:7

Possible errors include a misspelling of the class name, or not having the location of the class file in the CLASSPATH.

This is on PeopleTools 8.55.12, Elasticsearch 2.3.2,

PIA is installed on AIX 7.1; Elastic Search is installed on Windows 2012 R2

-Made sure on Curl output on AIX serve, it shows the correct information, like below. Elasticsearch is individually accessible from Windows machine also.

-Curl output of http://<xxxx.xx.xx.org:9200/
