SERVERPORTBEGIN

This Essbase configuration setting specifies the first port number that Essbase tries to use for its first application process (ESSSVR).

Syntax

SERVERPORTBEGIN n

n—Specifies the port number that Essbase tries to use for its first application process. This port number should not be in use by any other process. The default value is 32768.

Description

SERVERPORTBEGIN specifies the first port that Essbase tries to use for the first application process it tries to start.

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 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 the server can use.
PORTINC controls the increment value used for each port. In this example, if the first application process was able to use port number 32470, then the next process would use 32475.
