SERVERPORTEND

This Essbase configuration setting 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.

Syntax

SERVERPORTEND n

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.

Description

SERVERPORTEND specifies the highest port number that Essbase uses when trying to start an application process.

When you configure Essbase using the configuration tool, you select the range of ports to reserve for Essbase application servers. The SERVERPORTBEGIN and SERVERPORTEND configuration settings are automatically added to the Essbase configuration file, with the values corresponding to your selected range.

Notes

SERVERPORTBEGIN and SERVERPORTEND cannot have the same value.

Example

AGENTPORT 1478
SERVERPORTBEGIN 32470
SERVERPORTEND 32600
PORTINC 5

This example produces 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.
