Hi KJ,
The port 10014 in my example is the port for the new LASR server that I want created during autoload configuration. If you choose either of the first two selections in the LASR Artifacts dialog you will need to provide a port number that is not already used by any processes, not just those that SAS uses. I usually use SAS Management Console to check which ports my existing LASR servers are using and then choose a new one. The default port for LASR is 10011 so if I'm configuring a Lev1 deployment I'll typically increment the tens place for additional servers (10021, 10031, etc) but that's just a personal preference. SAS usually increments the ones place for port numbers to coincide with the Lev number so leaving the last digit as a 1 follows that pattern. The only technical requirement is that it be unique and unused. I agree, there are lots of ports to keep up with but following a pattern will help keep everything consistent. Thanks for reading.
