KDS_TEMS_TCP_UDP_PORT_NUM

This parameter specifies the well-known port for the monitoring server for the IP.UDP communication protocol (the TCP/IP protocol that uses the packet-based, connectionless User Datagram Protocol under IPv4).

Description
Well-known port for the monitoring server for the IP.UDP communication protocol (the TCP/IP protocol that uses the packet-based, connectionless User Datagram Protocol under 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.UDP 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.UDP as a communication protocol for the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.

Default value
1918 or the value set for the RTE_TCP_PORT_NUM parameter
