Re: WDSC 5.0 TCP/IP Port Usage

Mark,

We use the IBM Toolbox for Java to handle most of our communications to and
from OS/400 so opening up these ports should be all you need.  The Toolbox
in turn uses the OS/400 host servers (a link to these ports was provided in
a previous note from Doug).

The exception here is the port 4300 you mentioned.  This port (which is
listening on the PC as opposed to OS/400) is used for "call backs" from
server side to the PC side.  This is used by the STRRSESVR command and the
integrated debugger.

That's it.  You mentioned that copying a source member does not work when
you are connected via VPN.  We are not sure why this would fail, can you
provide some more details on this please.  Also can you try to prompt any
command when working from VPN.

We will get this information added to the online help for next release.

Thanks.

We are trying to configure our VPN to allow WDSC to work. The way we use
our VPN, we have to explictly open every port that we want to use.  Is
there a list documented anywhere of what ports WDSC uses to connect to the
iSeries?  We have opened the DDM/JDBC ports as well as all of the ones
used by the Java Toolbox and the Host Servers, but it appears that there
are still others that are used, perhaps for RSE.

I found a troubleshotting document in the help that says you will need to
allow traffic on all of the ports, but of course it doesn't bother to tell
you what those ports are.

Thanks

Mark
