9.3.4 Communication settings between BJEX or JP1/AS and JP1/IM - Manager

(1) Setting the timeout time for connections

You can change the length of time after which a timeout occurs for connections established for purposes such as checking the status of the source process or entering a response. Under most circumstances, you do not need to change this setting. If you frequently encounter error messages (KAVB0554-E or KAVB0555-E) due to network congestion or heavy loads on the source server, set a longer timeout time. You can set the timeout time in JP1/IM - Manager.

To change the timeout time for connections:

1. Define the following parameter in a file you create on the manager.

   [logical-host-name\JP1CONSOLEMANAGER]

   "RESEV_TIMEOUT_MAX"=dword:hexadecimal-value

   Replace logical-host-name with JP1_DEFAULT if the host is a physical host, and the logical host name if the host is a logical host.

   Specify the timeout time as a hexadecimal value within a range from 60 to 3,600 seconds. The default is dword:0000003c (60 seconds).

2. Execute the jbssetcnf command.

   Execute the jbssetcnf command with the definition file you created specified in a command argument. When you execute the jbssetcnf command, the setting in the definition file is applied to the common definition information. For details on the jbssetcnf command, see the Job Management Partner 1/Base User's Guide.

3. Execute the jco_spmd_reload command or restart JP1/IM - Manager.

   The new definition takes effect.

   For details on the jco_spmd_reload command, see jco_spmd_reload in 1. Commands in the Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.

(2) Configuring packet filtering in firewall environments

In an environment that uses a firewall, configure packet filtering so that BJEX or JP1/AS can communicate with JP1/IM - Manager through the firewall. The following table shows the port numbers used for communication between BJEX or JP1/AS and JP1/IM - Manager, and the direction in which packets pass through the firewall:

Table 9‒3: Port numbers used for communication between BJEX or JP1/AS and JP1/IM - Manager

Service	Port	Traffic direction
jp1bsplugin	20306/tcp	JP1/IM - Manager -> BJEX or JP1/AS
jp1imevt	20098/tcp	BJEX or JP1/AS -> JP1/IM - Manager

For details on the other port numbers used by JP1/IM and JP1/Base, see the following references:
