KDS_X_KDE_TRANSPORT_GBL_OPTIONS

This parameter allows for POOL-related overrides in the KDE_TRANSPORT environment variable keyword if it is determined that your site requires these special settings. This parameter is applicable to all the protocols.

Required or optional
Optional.
Location where the parameter value is stored
KDSENVmember of the rhilev.rte.RKANPARU library for the RTE of the monitoring server.
Parameter name and syntax
KDE_TRANSPORT POOL:nnnn-nnnn
Default value
None
Permissible values
A range of ports no smaller than 2 and no larger than 1024, expressed as nnnn-nnnn
Description
Specifies a range of pool numbers. After the port allocation algorithm assigns a well-known port to each process, all subsequent ports that are allocated for connections between components are opaque ports; that is, any available port can be allocated for a connection. You can limit opaque port allocations to a specific range of ports by coding the POOL option with any protocol specified on the KDE_TRANSPORT environment variable.

The POOL option must specify a range of ports no smaller than 2 and no larger than 1024 in the format nnnn-nnnn. POOL:1000-2023 is valid; POOL:1000-2024 is not. If more than 1024 ports are needed in a pool for a specific protocol, you can code more than one POOL option, as in POOL:1000-2023 POOL:3000-4023.

The difference between this parameter and the KDS_X_KDE_TRANSPORT_POOL_OPTIONS parameter is that the global option is generated immediately after the KDE_TRANSPORT parameter and before any protocol-specific lines. That is, the pool range is applicable to all the protocols.
