Using ports with SQL Anywhere 5.5 database servers

Troubleshooting


Problem

What port does a SQL Anywhere 5.5 database server use by default? Can this port be changed?

Resolving The Problem


ANSWER:
The SQL Anywhere database server is designated port number 1498 to use for TCP/IP communications. However, applications are not disallowed from using this reserved port, and this may result in an addressing collision between the database server and some other application.

In the case of the database server, the ServerPORT option designates the port number on which to communicate using TCP/IP.

-x TCPIP{ServerPort=1499}
