Description
The COMPONENT_PORT option specifies the IP port on which components communicate with the Universal Broker.
The content of messages exchanged over this connection includes, but is not necessarily limited to:
- Local configuration information
- Local component registration
- Information reported to and managed by the Universal Event Subsystem (UES)
These messages are exchanged on all supported Agent platforms; however, Windows is the only platform that relies on TCP/IP to implement the connection. That is why a separate, configurable IP port is provided for Windows. Other platforms rely on Unix domain sockets to implement the connection.
Usage
Method | Syntax | IBM i | UNIX | Windows | z/OS |
Configuration File Keyword | component_port port | |
Value
port is the IP port.
Valid values for port are:
- Numbers (for example, 7000)
- Service name (for example, ubrokercmp)
Default is 7987.
Note
By default, the Agent adds 100 to the value used for the Universal Broker service port (default: 7887). If another service already is listening on the calculated COMPONENT_PORT value, use another value to avoid collision with the existing service. Simply add component_port to the Universal Broker configuration file (if it is not already there) and set it to the desired value.
