The syb_sendmsg port number parameter specifies the port number that Adaptive Server uses to send messages to a UDP (User Datagram Protocol) port with sp_sendmsg or syb_sendmsg.

If more than one engine is configured, a port is used for each engine, numbered consecutively from the port number specified. If the port number is set to the default value, 0 Adaptive Server assigns port numbers.

NoteSending messages to UDP ports is not supported on Windows NT.

A System Security Officer must set the allow sendmsg configuration parameter to 1 to enable sending messages to UDP ports. To enable UDP messaging, a System Administrator must set allow sendmsg to 1. See “allow sendmsg”. For more information on UDP messaging, see sp_sendmsg in the Reference Manual.
