Option -p (SAP Library - BC SAProuter)

Option -p

Use

This option can be used to perform a soft shutdown of SAProuter. SAProuter continues running on another port, can be administered on this port, but does not accept any logon requests, and terminates automatically when there are no more clients connected.

The port on which SAProuter was running before (default 3299) is now free. This is useful if:

A new SAProuter is to be started without closing all existing connections
More connections are required than one SAProuter alone can provide (max. 1018).

If you enter the command saprouter -p , information is displayed telling you on which port SAProuter can now be administered, and the host on which SAProuter is running.

The standard port on which SAProuter is running is port 65000. If it is already assigned or if a port range was already defined for the SAProuter with option -M <min>.<max>, a different port is selected.
