Step 4 Obtain a new port service number so that the database access server can
listen for client requests.
The default port number for all Database Administration products is

assign the port number.
The /
etc/services file defines the port services for client requests. BMC
Software recommends that you add the following line to the /
etc/services
file to assign port service aliases:
BMCTCP 1313/tcp
Step 5 To ensure that the network is working properly:

ping host_name, where host_name is the name of the Unix server on
which you are installing the product.

Notify the system administrator of this problem immediately.
