000: Status : Error

Compare was run with a "port" option and the specified port was same as the port used by replication.

In Shareplex versions lower than Shareplex 7.0, it is not permitted to specify a port used by replication when running compare with the port option. This resulted in the error. To correct the issue, open another port which is not the same port used by replication and then run compare with the port option.

In Shareplex 7.5 or up, the compare process uses the same port as used by Shareplex. The precondition here is that both the source and target are on 7.5 or up. For versions lower than 7.5, compare will pick up any available port at random.
