RE: CA remote command server port

[Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can configure the properties for the AS400 connection with Ops Nav to
use standard ports instead of looking up the ports.  I did this for all of
our CAE users for performance.

Open OpsNav
right click on AS400 and select prosperities
select the connections tab
Bottom of window under performance are the setting you are looking for.  I
am using standard for where to lookup ports.

I need some help understanding how Client Access Express uses remote command
server (PC to AS/400).  Remote command supposedly uses port 8475, which we
have turned off from certain network entry points.  Some of our CA Express
users can get in, but others fail as they login to the initial prompt before
PC5250.  I can't figure out what's making certain PC client configurations
think they need port 8475 for remote command, and I can't figure out how to
remove the requirement from their CA configuration.

There's nothing I can find in CA Express administration that explicitly
mentions remote command functions, or where it might be selected and used.

Does anyone have any experience with this?  Much thanks...
