Specifies the port that the Agent uses.
AGENTPORT nWhere n is the port number for the Agent. This port number should not be in use by any other process. The default value is 1423.
AGENTPORT specifies the port that the Agent uses.
You may wish to change the default for many reasons. These are two common reasons:
The first server port, 1423, is inappropriate for your site.
You may wish to install a second Agent on a single computer to facilitate testing. Use AGENTPORT and the related configuration settings to assign the second Agent to a different port than the first. Use AGENTPORT with SERVERPORTBEGIN, SERVERPORTEND, and PORTINC.
Caution! | Do not use more than one Agent per computer in production systems. |
The setting is needed only in the server configuration file.
You must perform other steps to enable multiple agents on one computer. Please see the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide for instructions.
AGENTPORT 1478 SERVERPORTBEGIN 32470 SERVERPORTEND 32600 PORTINC 5
This example produces these results:
AGENTPORT sets the port that the Agent will use at 1478.
SERVERPORTBEGIN sets the value that the first server process will try to use for a port at 32470.
SERVERPORTEND sets the highest port number value this installation can use.
PORTINC controls the increment value used for each port. In this example, if the first server process used port number 32470, then the next process would use 32475.
