When communication (connection) is initiated, the receiving side (the side indicated by the direction of the arrow) uses the port numbers used by PFM - Agent for Platform as receiving ports. For the port numbers used by PFM - Agent for Platform, see Table E-1 Port numbers used by PFM - Agent for Platform.

The connecting side uses the free port numbers assigned by the OS as sending ports. The available range of port numbers depends on the OS.

Set the firewall so that the sending ports used temporarily by Manager can pass through to the receiving ports of Agent.

Note:
To execute the jpctool db dump (jpcctrl dump) or jpctool service list (jpcctrl list) command on the PFM - Agent host, use one of the following methods:
  • Specify the proxy option of the jpctool db dump (jpcctrl dump) or jpctool service list (jpcctrl list) command such that communication takes place via PFM - Manager. For details about the proxy option of the jpctool db dump (jpcctrl dump) or jpctool service list (jpcctrl list) command, see the chapter explaining commands in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Reference.
