Configuring Private RPC Port for BMC Remedy Process Designer

This topic describes how to configure Private RPC Socket during a fresh installation or upgrade of BMC Remedy Process Designer. 

Note

If you do not set a value, by default, the value is set to 0 (zero).

Use the private RPC program number from one of the following ranges (for example, 390685):

  • 390621 - 390634
  • 390636 - 390669
  • 390680 - 390694
