Obtaining an Available Listener Port (for Alpha/VMS systems only)

To obtain the TCP/IP address for your local server on an Alpha/VMS system enter the following command at the system $ prompt:

$  UCX SHOW DEV

You will get a list showing the following kinds of information:

                               Port                    Remote
Device_socket  Type    Local  Remote  Service           Host

  bg3         STREAM    5001       0  HL7              0.0.0.0
  bg23        STREAM    9700       0  Z3ZTEST          0.0.0.0
  bg24        STREAM    9600       0  ZSDPROTO         0.0.0.0

For example, if 9200 shows up in the Local Port column, some other application is already using this port number and you should choose another port.
