Adding Database Communication Port number

A Database Communication Port number is essential to uniquely identify the database entity in the integrated scenarios. To achieve inter-component collaboration, the components of SCM AI included OSLC (Open Source Lifecycle Collaboration). In OSLC compliance, it is essential to identify the collaborating components uniquely. Therefore, the Database Communication Port number is important.

About this task

When you import the relevant IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring transport into the SAP System, the /IBMMON/ITM_PORT database table is created automatically. The table contains the following database fields:
  • System ID
  • System Hostname
  • DB (Database) Communication Port #

Procedure

To add SAP Database Communication Port number for the SAP agent that is required for OSLC compliance, do the following steps:

  1. Go to the SE16 Transaction Code, and press Enter.
  2. In the Database table name field, enter /IBMMON/ITM_PORT, and press F7.
  3. When the selection screen of the /IBMMON/ITM_PORT database table appears, press F8. The /IBMMON/ITM_PORT database table contains the following three database fields:
    • System ID
    • System Hostname
    • DB Communication Port #
    Note: The SAP systems that appear in the /IBMMON/ITM_PORT database table are for both the Java™ and ABAP architectures.
  4. In the DB Communication Port # field, enter the relevant SAP Database Communication Port number for the respective SAP System ID and SAP System Hostname, and save the changes.
    Note: If you do not enter any value in the DB Communication Port # field in the /IBMMON/ITM_PORT database table, then, by default the DB Communication Port number is 0.
