Dynamic Port assignment for RDz Debugging Session

Port administration for RDz debugging.

When a debugging session for a Host program will be initiated a TCP/IP port must be defined and assigned in the IMS system - RDz will use this port for the debugging session.

When several developer would like to run debugging session the ports to be used must be organized and managed. This coordination of the ports can not be done manually - this should be part of the RDz functionality.

We recommend to implement a 'DHCP like port management' in RDz for the debugging session with the HOST (IMS system)

    There are existing ways to avoid collisions in debug ports when debugging remote Java applications. 

    To avoid server port collisions, start the JVM and have it connect immediately to a waiting debugger UI. These JVM options ae similar to these:

    -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=n,suspend=y, address=mylaptop.ibm.com:9999

    The bold options indicate that the server should start up and connect to a debugger UI at port 9999 on the client with IP address mylaptop.ibm.com. Since the port is on the workstation in this case, there is no conflict in ports between users (assuming that this is not a shared Windows machine).
