The PORT parameter defines the port
number on the server to which the Client daemon connects.
PORT=<number>- Description
- Set the value in the range 0 - 65,535. If you specify a value
of 0, the services system file is used to locate
the port number for the CICS® service
using the TCP protocol. If an entry cannot be found in the services system
file, a value of 1435 is used. Port 1435 is the number of the port
assigned to the Client daemon in the TCP/IP architecture. On Windows platforms, the services system
file is in the %windir%\system32\drivers\etc directory
and on UNIX platforms, it is
in the /etc directory.
This
parameter is in the SERVER section of the configuration file.
- Default value
