Example of specifying the port number

Before performing this procedure, you need to reserve a port number for communicating with Replication Manager.

For a job that starts Business Continuity Manager agent, set the UNIX service's usage attributes (open a port for receiving). For details, see the IBM manual Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference.

Set the port number in the TCP/IP environment settings file (PROFILE.TCPIP profile, the definition file related to server functions in the TCP/IP address space).

In the PORT definition of the PROFILE.TCPIP profile, specify the member name or identification name of the Business Continuity Manager agent start job. For details about the identification name, see the chapter that describes Business Continuity Manager agent startup in the Hitachi Business Continuity Manager User Guide.

For the port number to be used by the YKAGENT job, you cannot specify a number that is already being used by another job. Specify a port number that is not being used in the system.

The following specification sets the port number as 24042:

24042 TCP YKAGENT ;YKAGENT START NAME
Note: The Business Continuity Manager agent requires 2 sockets of IBM Communications Server (OS standard equipment). Make sure that the total number of sockets does not exceed the maximum number of sockets that IBM Communications Server can provide, keeping in mind the number of sockets required for other services that IBM Communications Server handles. For details about the maximum number of sockets that IBM Communications Server can provide, see the IBM manual Communications Server IP Configuration Guide.
