Dataset Service port	9301	The local port that is used for inter-process communication. This port is assigned when Cognos Analytics is started for the first time. The port number is based on the Cognos Analytics dispatcher port plus 1. For example, 9300 +1 = 9301.
Compute Service port number	0	The local port that is used by the Compute service. Ensure that you specify a port that is not already in use. The value must be in the range 0 - 65535. If you specify 0, the Compute service assigns the port dynamically. For any other value, the Compute service will use the port number that you specify.
