HPUX using port 2250 tcp/udp as a socket for oracle purpose

[WilliamSmith11]

Hi
I have a customer that is runing hpux 11.23 and he wants to use the port 2250 to make a socket connection to transfer information from a windows machine where oracle is running 10g; I think.

Never have try this but I found some more or less the same in the forum , trying but not working.

Here is the link that I am follwing

In the attachment are the steps that I have done but without really success.

Big mistake. His question made even less
sense than yours.

I know approximately nothing about Oracle on
Windows, but I especially don't know what you
mean by "use the port 2250 to make a socket
connection to transfer information". If you
expect to transfer information over port N
(where N = 2250, or anything else), then you
need to have a program on one system (the
server) which is listening for connections at
that port, and another program on some (often
different) system (the client) which connects
to the server on that port.

Unless some firewall is blocking things,
there is nothing you need to do to "open the
port". What you do need to do is run the
appropriate program at each end.

In this case, you need to figure out what
these programs might be. For example, you
seem to be using a socket connection on port
80 to transfer information between your
desktop system and HP's ITRC system. There's
a Web server (the server program) running at
forums.itrc.hp.com, and you're using some Web
browser (the client program) to talk to it.
Installing some strange example program like
"totosrv" will not help you get any data from
Oracle on anything from anyplace.

Perhaps Oracle includes some server program
which normally uses port 2250. I know
nothing about that, one way or the other.
But even if it does, you would still need
some appropriate client program which knows
how to talk to it ("transfer information
from" it). Using Telnet to connect to some
port is basic method of testing, it's not a
general method to use to "transfer
information".
