This chapter provides information about how to use the Sybase ETL Server. See “Sybase ETL architecture” for more information.
Sybase ETL Server is a scalable and distributed grid engine that connects to data sources, and extracts and loads data to data targets using transformation flows designed using Sybase ETL Development. Sybase ETL Server uses UDP broadcasts to inform other servers about urgent events, such as start and stop, as well as system failure or crash.
The default port for communication is 5124. You can change the default port in the INI file or using the command line.
All communication between the servers is done over TCP/IP on the same port.
Verify there are no firewalls blocking this port and
the port is not in use. You can also change the port on all server
installations to a different number, if necessary.
