How to find Agents Ports in IBM InfoSphere Server - Version.xml

The list of installed products can be obtained from the Version.xml file that is located in ISHOME directory on the client, engine and domain machines where InfoSphere Information Server is installed.

Default locations

UNIX /opt/IBM/InformationServer,
WINDOWS C:\IBM\InformationServer

Below is a example listing of the Version.xml file:

Failure to connect to DataStage services tier: invalid port

When you attempt to start one of the DataStage clients, the following message is displayed:

Failed to authenticate
the current user against the selected Domain:  Could not connect to
server [servername] on port [portnumber].

What Service is Running on which Port in Windows

Finding out what application is running on a specific port in Windows is easy by using two command line utilities. By using netstat with the proper switches you can list out all of the ports that are being used and then use Tasklist to list all of the applications that are running. The combination of the two utilities will allow you to figure out which application us using which port.

As an example you can use the below directions to figure out At which port Oracle is running....

Diagnosing DataStage Job Monitor problems

DataStage job run statistics (i.e. rows per second processed) do not update in DataStage Designer or Director clients.

DataStage - Problem when running large parallel jobs on Windows

If you have large parallel jobs (8.1) running in Windows environment then it is worth checking the servers event log. You could find an error related to Nutcracker.exe. An administrator with access right on the server can see the events logs.

Nutcracker error could come up while running very heavy jobs where total cpu utilization is upto or above 90% and server starts using virtual memory. This is just an example of the impact of running large parallel jobs in Windows server. Hence to make the system somewhat full proof following changes can be done in Windows registry. The idea is to tune the TCP/IP buffer, increase the heap size and set the virtual memory to the recommended amount.

Managing profiles on WebSphere Application Server V7

Listing WebSphere Application Server profiles

To list all profiles on a server:

• On Windows: was_install_dir\bin\manageprofiles.bat –listProfiles
• On UNIX/Linux:was_install_dir/bin/manageprofiles.sh –listProfiles

Locate the DB2 connection port number on Linux/Unix

Hey guys, here we see how to get the port no which is assigned to DB2 Services


1)Open a DB2 command prompt
2)Verify you are on the correct instance
   
db2 get instance

Steps to configure DB2 to support remote TCP/IP clients

Hi there...

Sometimes we need to add port which can be listen by DB2. As DB2 can listen any port no lying between 1 to 64000. By default DB2 is using the port no 5000 but in any case if we have to change it to other so here I am describing it.

1. Add an entry to the TCP/IP Services file that looks similar to the following example:
db2c1svc        50000/tcp              # DB2 Instance connection port for instance DB2C1

 

The service name db2c1svc can be any name you choose, but must be unique in the Services file and must match the value you specify for the SVCENAME parameter in the DBM CFG file.
The port number you specify should be an integer greater than 1024. The port numbers must be unique within the Services file.
The maximum length for the SVCENAME value is 14 characters. This parameter is case sensitive.
The tcp after the port number must be in lower case.

 

2. On a Linux or UNIX system, the services file is located in the directory path of /etc/services. You must be root to update it. On a Windows system, the Services file is located in the directory path of \windows\system32\drivers\etc\services.

3. On an AIX system, synchronize the /etc/services file and the inetd daemon by executing the following commands:
# inetimp
# refresh -s inetd

** We can add the DB2 service name in DBM CFG file by executing the following commands

db2> update dbm cfg SVCENAME <service_name>

i.e
db2> update dbm cfg SVCENAME db2c1svc

 njoy the simplicity.......
