I did try the default port number 1096 (as per the documentation)but the error persisted and so I asked for another "most recommended port number". I am sorry that this thread is prolonging but I really have to get this rolling soon. so please help.
Thanks anyways!!

: Why are you asking about a port number? You should be specifying the same
: port number that you have in the scheduler settings for the remote
: control. The default number is 1097 by the way.

1096 is the default port for 24x7 Windows version. 1097 is the default port for Java version. The manual is the same for both versions, the API is cross-platform.

PS. You can change the port number to anything you want. In 24x7 GUI use Tools/Settings menu and then Network page to view/modify port numbers.

Also if you have additional questions please start a new message thread, because this one is already very long and becoming hard to read.
