Default port numbers
Overview
The ports listed in this section are defaults only. The actual port numbers used when creating the profile might be different.
Verify the ports listed are not in use when creating a WCS instance. If you have a firewall configured in the system, ensure that you can access these ports.
For port numbers required by non-IBM software, see the documentation for the non-IBM software package.
To change a port, see Changing the ports used for WebSphere Commerce tools
