For this parameter... | Specify... |
Port | The number you want to use for the port. Select a number that is not already in use on this host machine. Important: If you are running multiple Integration Servers on the same host machine, make sure the port numbers used on each server are unique. |
Alias | An alias for the port that is unique for this Integration Server. An alias must be between 1 and 255 characters in length and include one or more of the following: letters (a -z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), underscore (_), period (.), and hyphen (-). |
Description | A description of the port. |
Package Name | Package associated with this port. When you enable the package, the server enables the port. When you disable the package, the server disables the port. If you replicate this package, Integration Server creates a port with this number and the same settings on the target server. If a port with this number already exists on the target server, its settings remain intact. This feature is useful if you create an application that expects input on a specific port. The application will continue to work after it is replicated to another server. |
Bind Address (optional) | IP address to which to bind this port. Specify a bind address if your machine has multiple IP addresses and you want the port to use this specific address. If you do not specify a bind address, the server picks one for you. |
Passive Mode Listen Address (optional) | The address that should be sent by the PORT command. A host name or IP address can be specified. Note: This option is not applicable when the FTP port is bound to an IPv6 address. In that case, the passive mode listen address is the same as the port bind address. When running in passive mode, the FTP port sends a PORT command to the FTP client. The PORT command specifies the address and port to which the client should connect to create a data connection. If the FTP port is behind a NAT server, however, the address of the host on which Integration Server runs is not visible to the FTP client. Consequently the PORT command does not contain the information the client needs to connect to the server. To remedy this situation, you can specify a value for the watt.net.ftpPassiveLocalAddr property in the server configuration file (server.cnf), which is located in the Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\config directory (see
Server Configuration Parameters). Alternatively, you can use the Passive Mode Listen Address field to specify the passive mode address for an individual FTP port. That way, you can specify a different passive mode address for each FTP port. If an address is specified in the Passive Mode Listen Address field and in the watt.net.ftpPassiveLocalAddr property, the PORT command uses the value specified in the watt.net.ftpPassiveLocalAddr property. |
