Summary

In some cases, the extra traffic to accomplish remote port lookup on port 449 is not desired.

setServicePortsToDefault

public void setServicePortsToDefault()
Sets the ports in the service port table for all the services for this system name to their default values. This causes the connections to this system name to use the default ports for those services rather than querying the port number through a port mapper connection [on port 449]. The use of this method can reduce the number of connections made to the system.

 

 
Example:
com.ibm.as400.access.AS400 system = new com.ibm.as400.access.AS400("MySystem");
system.setServicePortsToDefault();
