Configuring DLO to use a specific port for database access

You might want to configure DLO to use a specific port for database access. For example, if a fixed port is already used for the SQL Server, you may need to configure DLO to use the same port to access the DLO database.

To configure DLO for alternate database access through a specific port

  1. Select a unique port number for the DLO database and then use svrnetcn.exe to set the new port number.

  2. On the computers that run the DLO Administration Console from outside the firewall, create the following registry key as a DWORD value if it does not exist and set the DBUseTCP flag to 1:

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Symantec\DLO\3.0\AdminConsole\DBUseTCP

  3. On the computers that run the Desktop Agent from outside the firewall, create the following registry key as a DWORD value if it does not exist and set the DBUseTCP flag to 1:

    HKCU\Software\Symantec\DLO\3.0\Client\DBUseTCP or

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Symantec\DLO\3.0\Client\DBUseTCP

  4. Set the DBTcpPort on the computers that you modified in steps 2 and 3 to the port number you set in step 1.

  5. Restart the modified computers.
