Changing the port number

The port number for the UIM server is the address of a TCP/IP application, in this case the UIM server, on a z/OS image.

The UIM server has one port number that consoles use to contact the UIM server. You can change the port number globally for all consoles that communicate with the UIM server.

To change the port number

  1. Edit your startup configuration member.

    Note

    The startup member name is typically the same as the started task procedure name for the UIM server.

  2. In your startup configuration member, find the PORT variable.The default port number is 9999.

    The PORT variable is displayed as follows:

      <bmc_parm id="PORT" value="9999" />

  3. Change the value of BMC_PARM ID='PORT' from9999 to a unique numeric value between 1 and 65535.

    Warning

    Check with your TCP/IP administrator to ensure that you are entering a unique port number. If you do not enter a unique port number, program errors may occur.
