Changing a TCP port number assigned to the monitoring server

If you change a TCP port number assigned to a monitoring server on a z/OS® system, the port numbers allocated for the local monitoring agents also change, because the algorithm starts from the monitoring server's well-known port. You can use this method to avoid conflicts with ports reserved for other applications or components. If you specify a high number, conflicts are less likely than if you use the default or specify a low number for the monitoring server's well-known port.
