Configuring the Scheduler › Define Communication Ports for the Scheduler

Define Communication Ports for the Scheduler

You can define the communication ports for the scheduler. These ports let the scheduler communicate with agents and managers.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Start, Programs, CA, Workload Automation AE, Administrator.

   The Instance - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window opens.

2. Select an instance from the Instance drop-down list in the Settings pane.
3. Click the Services icon on the toolbar.

   The Services - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears, displaying a list of services installed on the selected instance.

4. Right-click the scheduler and select Stop.

   The scheduler stops.

5. Click the Scheduler icon on the toolbar.

   The Scheduler - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears.

6. Click the Communication Ports tab, complete the following fields as appropriate, and click Apply:

   (Optional) Legacy Remote Agent Port

   Defines the port number the scheduler uses to communicate with 4.5 legacy agents (4.0, 4.5, 4.5.1). In addition to setting the port number, the type attribute of the machine definition for each legacy agent must be defined as either l or L.

   Default: 0, which indicates that the scheduler only communicates with agents (type 'a' machines) or r11 legacy agents.

   Notes:

   • If you enter a port number other than the default, the scheduler communicates with 4.5 legacy agents based on the port number you entered in the Legacy Remote Agent Port field. For example, if you enter 5280, the scheduler only communicates with 4.5 legacy agents that are running on 5280 port.
   • On UNIX, the equivalent configuration parameter is AutoRemPort.

   (Optional) Auxiliary Listening Port

   Defines the port number the scheduler uses to listen for inbound AFM protocol data using non-SSA communication.

   Default: 7507

   Notes:

   • The scheduler auxiliary listening port must be different from the application server auxiliary listening port.
   • On UNIX, the equivalent configuration parameter is SchedAuxiliaryListeningPort.

7. Click the Services icon on the toolbar.

   The Services - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears, displaying a list of services installed on the selected instance.

8. Right-click the scheduler and select Start.

   The scheduler starts. The communication ports for the scheduler are defined.
