Specifies the highest value that Essbase tries to use for a port when it starts an application process (ESSSVR). If the value is unavailable, the application process fails.
SERVERPORTEND nWhere n specifies the highest value for a port number that Essbase tries to use for a application process. If the port is unavailable, the application process fails. This port number should not be in use by any other process. The default value is 33768.
SERVERPORTEND specifies the highest port number that Essbase uses when trying to start an application process.
You may want to change the default for many reasons. These are two common reasons:
The default port, 33768, is inappropriate for your site.
You want to install a second Agent on a single computer to facilitate testing. Use 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 perform several other steps in order to enable multiple agents on one computer. See the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide for instructions.
SERVERPORTBEGIN and SERVERPORTEND cannot have the same value.
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 application 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.
