Two precesses sharing same port/server

[Krishna Kumar]

I have a process sending a batch file to another application which is using fileset local PROTOCOL to read the file from folder.  The process is scheduled to look into the folder every 30 minutes.  Even though it checks the inbound folder every 30 minutes, we will have only one batch a day.

Question is can I set up another process sending another batch from another application looking from another input folder to share the same port I am using for the first process. In other words in the outbound threads in both processes will be looking to same host, same port in TCP/IP configuration

Thanks

As long as the receiving system can accept multiple connections to the same port, (and send acknowledgements back accordingly) then it should not be an issue.  You could also simpy route both inbounds to the single outbound thread as well.
