TIBCO Rendezvous® 8.8.0

# Add Service Entries

Rendezvous transports use the service `rendezvous` as a default (when programmers do not explicitly specify a service). If `rendezvous` is not defined as a service, the secondary default is UDP port 7500.

We recommend that you define `rendezvous` as a service name in your network database. If port 7500 is already in use on your network, you must define `rendezvous` as a service (designating an available port number). The examples below define `rendezvous` as port 7500, but you may use any UDP port number.

Some organizations may want to define additional services to segregate Rendezvous communications. For example, by convention, fault tolerance messages between Rendezvous components use service 7504. You may also define those services at this time. For more information, see Service Selection.

On all platforms, Rendezvous software obtains service names by calling the function `getservbyname()`. Ensure that this function returns the correct port numbers.

## UNIX Platforms

Add these definitions to the services database:

       rendezvous      7500/udp
       rendezvous-ft   7504/udp

## Microsoft Windows Platforms

On all supported Windows platforms, add these definitions to the services database:

       rendezvous      7500/udp
       rendezvous-ft   7504/udp
