Specifies the value of the increment in between port numbers used by the Essbase agent process.
PORTINC nWhere n is the value of n specifies the increment between port numbers that the Agent used to try and find an available port. The default value is 1.
This setting specifies the increment value between ports used by the Agent when it tries to find an available port.
You may wish to change the default for many reasons. These are two common reasons:
The default port, 33768, is inappropriate for your site.
You may wish to install a second Agent on a single computer to facilitate testing. see SERVERPORTEND and the related configuration settings to assign the second Agent to a different port than the first. Use SERVERPORTEND along with AGENTPORT, SERVERPORTBEGIN, and PORTINC.
Caution! | More than one Agent per computer should not be used in production systems. |
You must insert these settings in both the configuration file for the Essbase Server computer and the configuration file for the client computer.
You must perform several other steps in order to enable multiple agents on one computer. See the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide for instructions.
AGENTPORT 1478 SERVERPORTBEGIN 32470 SERVERPORTEND 32600 PORTINC 5
This example would produce these results:
AGENTPORT sets the port that the additional 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 was able to use port number 32470, then the next process would use 32475.
