Joe, The default port number for the server listens on for connections from clients is 1500. This will also include the admin clients. You may have set the http _admin_ port to something like 1501; however unless you are admining from OUTSIDE of the firewall using a web browser, you do not need to open this port on the firewall. There is also a port available for use when using shared memory.
All of the ports are defined in dsmserv.opt. regards, -=Dave=- -- +44 (0)20 7608 7140 ACCORDION, n.

NT/AIX/Solaris We have our Server set up to use the default port 1500. In the past, we've also made sure that the firewall folks open/define port 1501. Is it necessary to have port 1501 open? I've been told that the server listens on port 1501. If so, what is it listening for? Not a lot of info in the guides or reference on this (unless I missed it). Any help would be appreciated. thx.
