ORB service transport channel settings
Use this page to view and configure an Object Request Broker (ORB) Service transport channels. This type of transport channel handles CORBA and RMI/IIOP inbound messages for the ORB Service. It enables clients to make requests and receive responses from servers in a network-distributed environment.
- The chain named ORB contains a TCP and an ORB Service channel.
- The chain named ORB-Secure contains a TCP, an SSL, and an ORB Service channel.
Both of these chains terminate in, or use the same TCP channel instance. This TCP channel is associated with the IIOP port and is not used in any other transport chain. One instance of an SSL channel is reserved for use in the DCS-Secure chain. It also is not used in any other transport chains.
To view this administrative console page, click server_name. Click on for the port associated with the ORB Service transport channel whose settings you want to look at.
Transport channel name
Specifies the name of the ORB service transport channel.
The name field cannot contain the following characters: # \ / , : ; " * ? < > | = + & % '
This name must be unique across all channels in the product environment. For example, an ORB service transport channel and a TCP transport channel cannot have the same name if they reside within the same system.

Discrimination weight
Specifies the priority this channel has in relation to the other channels in this transport chain. This property is only used when port sharing is enabled and the transport chain includes multiple channels to which it might forward data. The channel in the chain with the lowest discrimination weight is the first one given the opportunity to look at incoming data and determine whether or not it owns that data.
