DCI Agent listening port

Products

• Dynamic Capacity Intelligence

Issue/Introduction

As Dynamic Capacity Intelligence (DCI) requires only a free TCP port, and it's shared among Controller, Agents and ISPF Interface (see "Address Hardware Requirements" of DCI documentation), how does each HMC-enabled Agent receive its own HMC commands from the Controller? Does the Agent listen to a different port?

Environment

Release : 2.0

Component : CA DYNAMIC CAPACITY INTELLIGENCE

Resolution

No, the Agents do not listen on their own ports, but they "poll" their Controller region for commands.
