Hi
can u please tell me what is the default port number for progress database.

Like for oracle 1521, MS Sql 1433 etc..

Thanks

it could be 5000, as when i installed an odbc for progress specifically it defaulted to 5000.
Thats all i know. i could be wrong
regards

There is no default database broker port for a progress database... To network a progress database you need to add the -S parameter and you must specify the port you want the broker to run on (there is no default for it because if you don't specify -S it wont be networked ) . The servers that the broker spawn will uses a default port range but it in the thousands and will open ports in that range. (3000 to 4000 i think). But it the -S port that your client will need to connect to the database.

Why would you care about the default port? Minimal DB admin would dictate that you specify the connection port with -S and the response ports with -minport and -maxport and that you make entries in /etc/hosts or the equivalent Windows file so that the -S port can be addressed by name.
