Port Identification

rajeev_prabhuat · Post by **rajeev_prabhuat** » Mon Nov 29, 2004 4:51 am

Hi,

We have installed the Datastage server 7.1r1 in our PC, now we want to find through which port we can connect the Cleint to Server, can any one help us immediatley. Can we connect the Client and the server through the Server IP, or is there any port that has to be identified, if so how do we find it out.

Regards,
Rajeev Prabhu

Did you fully qualify the DNS name for the server (instead of something like 'dsserver', try whatever your site uses like 'dsserver.world.net').

There's not a great deal of value installing a 7.1 server on a Windows machine (as you state in your text, though your heading suggests server on UNIX) if you're planning to work with parallel jobs. You can certainly design them, but you can't compile or run them.

DataStage clients connect to the DataStage server through port number 31538 (listened to by the DataStage RPC service). Telnet clients connect to the DataStage server through well-known port number 23. If either of these ports is in use for another purpose you may need to make a change.

If you have these ports blocked by a firewall, you may need to open them.

Beware, too, that there are issues with Win XP SP2, which you can search the forum and Ascential Developer Net to learn more about.

Hi,

Thanks you Ray & Kenith.

Ray i don't have the acess to Developer net, so i am not able to go through the details. If possible can you explain it.

The client software runs your PC and connects to the DataStage server via TCP/IP. Therefore, if you can ping your DataStage server from your client using the IP and the DNS, then you can use either in the client to connect to the server.

DataStage has two flavours: Server and Parallel. Parallel is currently only available for unix platforms. Jobs called Server (not server, BIG S) use the older and more flexible technology, Parallel uses the high-performance high-requirement technology.

Hi Kenneth/Ray,

Thanks you.

As Ray has told that, is it that we can not compile them in UNIx Version, if so how do we do it.

Your post indicates you are on a Windoze platform, but your text talks about Unix. Parallel jobs do not work on Windoze because it has not been ported to Windoze in a distributable form.

If you are working on a DataStage installation with a supported licence you are entitled to enrol on Ascential Developer Net.

The only way that you can compile a parallel job that has been developed on a Windows-based DataStage server is to deploy the job design to a UNIX-based DataStage server on which parallel extender (also known as Enterprise Edition) has been installed and licensed.

There are various ways to deploy. For one job, it's probably easiest to use Export then Import.
