Background documentation J2EE Engine Ports  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

These ports are used for communication with the J2EE Engine as part of the SAP NetWeaver AS. They are generated at installation time and when new cluster elements have to be created.

For the J2EE Engine, 20 ports are available for the dispatcher element and 80 are available for the server elements, since five is the maximum number of ports for a server process. Therefore, no more than 16 server cluster elements can be created on one instance.

The default J2EE Engine ports meet the following requirements:

     The port value is a number over 50000

     For each cluster element the ports begin with 50000+100*instance_number, where instance_number is a two digit number from 00 to 99 specifying the number of central instance and dialog instances.

Note

You can see the instance number from the directory, where the J2EE Engine is installed. Under /usr/sap/<SID>, there is a directory which name contains the instance name including the instance number, for example, JC40 (where 40 is the instance number).

     For dispatcher cluster elements
The ports are created from
50000+100*instance_number+port_index, where port_index is a number from 0 to 19 inclusive.

     For server cluster elements
The ports are created from
50000+100*instance_number+20+n*5+port_index, where n is the number of server elements from 0 to 15 and port_index is from 0 to 4.

Note

You can see the number of the server element from the installation directory of the J2EE Engine. Under <Drive>:\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\<Instance_Name>\j2ee\cluster, there are server<Server_Number> directories representing the server processes in the J2EE Engine. Their number depends on the number specified at installation time.
This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

The ports for J2EE Engine server3 with instance_number=15 are from 51535 (50000+100*15+20+3*5+0) to 51539 (50000+100*15+20+3*5+4).

Server Join Port

For s0: 5NN20, for s1=5NN25, for s2=5NN30….for s15=5NN95, where s0, s1, s2,..s15 shows the number of server processes and NN is instance_number.

Server Debug Port

For s0: 5NN21, for s1=5NN26, for s2=5NN31….for s15=5NN96, where s0, s1, s2,..s15 shows the number of server processes and NN is instance_number.

Example

The port for P4 on a dispatcher element with instance_number=15 is:

P4 port=50000+100*15+4=51504
