GOAL:
What is the range of TCP/IP ports Progress uses when making a TCP/IP connection from a client to server?
GOAL:
What is the highest TCP/IP port number that Progress can use?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
A remote broker can be either a Database, Webspeed, AppServer, or DataServer broker. For this explanation, this solution will explain it in relation to a database broker however the other brokers function identically.
The connection will use more than one port. The initial connection made from the client to a database broker is the port referenced by the -S parameter. The database broker then assigns the client to it's corresponding remote server which reside on another set of TCP/IP ports. These remote server port numbers are defined by the -minport and -maxport parameters. By default minport is 1025, so anything starting at 1025 and up to the default maxport (highest TCP/IP port number possible) which is 65535 can be used.
Use the -minport and -maxport parameters within the appropriate broker startup parameters to restrict the TCP/IP port usage. These parameters only apply to database brokers
