KDS_TEMS_TCP_PIPE_PORT_NUM

Edit online

This parameter specifies the well-known port for the monitoring server for the IP.PIPE communication protocol (the TCP/IP protocol that supports IPv4). Tivoli® Management Services reserves a default well-known port for the first process started on a system (normally, the monitoring server).

Description
Well-known port for the monitoring server for the IP.PIPE communication protocol (the TCP/IP protocol that supports IPv4). Tivoli Management Services reserves a default well-known port for the first process started on a system (normally, the monitoring server). For monitoring agents and other components, an algorithm based on the port number assigned to the monitoring server calculates the listening port to reserve. A port number cannot be assigned to a component if it is already reserved for another component or application.

The default listening port number for the monitoring server for IP.PIPE is 1918 or the value set for the RTE_TCP_PORT_NUM parameter. You might find it necessary to change the setting under some conditions; for example, when the port assigned to a component by the algorithm is already reserved by another application or component. For a remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, the port number must be the same as that of the hub.

For detailed information about assigning port numbers, see Port number assignments.

This parameter is required if you specified IP.PIPE as a communication protocol for the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.

Default value
1918 or the value set for the RTE_TCP_PORT_NUM parameter
