During PowerExchange installation, the default TCP/IP port number for the PowerExchange Listener is set to 2480 in the DBMOVER configuration file:

TCP/IP port 2480 is registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) exclusively for PowerExchange use. Ask your network administrator to verify that this port is available for PowerExchange at your site.

If another product or a previous PowerExchange installation is using port 2480, you must get another valid TCP/IP port number from your network administrator. Enter that port number in the LISTENER statement of the DBMOVER configuration file.

If you need multiple ports for multiple PowerExchange Listeners, ask your network administrator to provide additional valid port numbers for PowerExchange use. Also, refer to the IANA Web site to determine if the ports have been registered for use by other products.

After you identify the port numbers, add a LISTENER or NODE statement for each one in the DBMOVER configuration file. The NODE statement applies only to a PowerExchange Listener on a remote platform from which PowerExchange reads data. In each statement, include the IP address or host name of the source platform, for example:

You can use the HOSTENT utility to determine the IP address or host name of the source. You can also use this utility to verify that the IP address matches the one in the PowerExchange license key file.
