Hi,
I have a problem with ncs.conf property agent_port=6404 or 59818
I understand that 6404 is default and sap notes recommend to change it to 59818.
But i don't get how this formula: 5<SMD AGENT Instance Number> 8100 + 18 leads to a valid port number on customer system?
I scanned every log of SMD agents installed on our landscape and saw only p4 ports like 59804 , 59813.
59818 doesn't even show up in netstat. I saw a note#1866707 asking to check port blocking. I do not see any blocking. If 59804 and 59813 are active , i do not think firewall will block 59818.
I understand sapagentconfig.xml file needs to be checked for BO instances. Unfortunately in our BO systems, this .xml file when opened is showing chinese characters. Hence cannot verify whats there in this file. Anyways it should either 6404 or 59818. But none of the ports are active. Just making the change in file, doesn't make the hostagent process listen on this port.
So what is the correct port number that needs to go in ncs.conf for host_agent property?
Please share if you know anything on this area.
Thanks,
