Spotlight on DB2 6.9.3 - User Guide

Services grid

This grid presents a list of known services from the UNIX machine's /etc/services file.

The Services grid is NOT updated every time that Spotlight data is refreshed, as the contents of the /etc/services file do not change often. To update this page manually, press the F5 key, or choose the Refresh option from the View menu.

NOTE: 
Because information in the Services page is not updated when Spotlight data is refreshed, data from this page is NOT available in historical snapshots.

Columns

• Port number:  The port used by the service to transfer data.
