A Determining the DB2 UDB Port Value

This appendix presents the procedure that you can use to determine the port value for your DB2 UDB database connection

To determine the DB2 UDB port value:

1. On your DB2 UDB machine, navigate to this path:

   \<Windows_home_dir>\system32\drivers\etc

2. Using an ASCII editor, open the services file and search for your instance name. For example, if you use the default DB2 UDB instance name of "DB2", the entry would look like:

   DB2_DB2 60000\tcp #
         Interrupt port for DB2 instance DB2
   DB2_DB2_1   60001\tcp
   DB2_DB2_2   60002\tcp
   DB2_DB2_END 60003\tcp
   

3. For purposes of running the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer, the port number you should enter in the Service Port Number for Selected Instance field is the first value specified in the 60000 range of port numbers. Therefore, in the above example, the valid value for connecting to your DB2 UDB Server is 60000.

   As another example, if you use a value other than the default value for the name of your DB2 UDB instance, it might appear as shown below.

   ROYA_DB2 60005\tcp # Connection
       port for DB2 instance DB2
   

   In the above example, the valid DB2 UDB port value would be 60005.
