What port DataStage uses to connect to the databases

Hi,

We just want to know what are the ports which Datastage uses to connect to other Databases on different servers.

Is it going to be port 31538 on which DataStage listens or Are there any other ports which are required for Inbound/Outbound interfaces of DataStage?

Thanks,

Re: Limiting rows in parllel job

Compile the Job in Trace Mode i.e. go to the Job Properties -- Execution Tab and enable the box Compile in Trace mode. Then you can limit the number of records per link for a partition.
