A customers office software was updated recently on the server. This new software apparantly has hard coded port 49259 for use between it's clients and the server. The problem arrised this morning, after the server had rebooted, that Symantec's SQLAnywhere randomly grabs a port that's not in use... it happened to grab this specific port today and started using it to communicate between the dbserv16.exe service and SemSvc.exe service. Shutting down the SQLAnywhere service - and restarting the other software, then the SQLAnywhere service solved the problem (as it went and randomly grabbed a different port).
While this seems fairly random - this upgrade only occured a week ago, so I worry this will come back and haunt me. Is there a way somewhere in Endpoint / SQLAnywhere to tell it to exclude / note use this port (49259). I can see firewall rules I can setup etc... but that obviously isn't what I'm looking for here - I just need to tell Endpoint to never use this specific IP.
Thanks,
Shawn
