The chgwassvr script

The chgwassvr script allows you to change the ports for an application server within a profile. For usage instructions and examples, see Change application server properties.

Note: You can also use the administrative console to create and manage application servers. See Administering application servers for more information.

Product

The chgwassvr script is available in WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.

Authority

To run this script, your user profile must have *ALLOBJ authority.

Note: In a Network Deployment environment, use the chgwassvr script from the Network Deployment profile to modify port values for the servers managed by the deployment manager for the cell. When you modify a managed server's ports, use the -node parameter to specify the node name of the managed node that contains the server that you want to modify. The configuration documents for the servers are updated when the next synchronization between the deployment manager and the nodes occurs. You can also synchronize the configuration with the syncNode script. For more information, see The syncNode command. You run the syncNode script from the WebSphere Application Server base application server for the node.

Parameters

The parameters of the script are:

• -server
  This is a required parameter. The value servername specifies the name of the server to change. For the default WebSphere Application Server profile, the default server name is server1. For the default Network Deployment profile, the default server name is dmgr. The value for this parameter is case-sensitive and must match the server name exactly. You can use the dspwasinst script to view the servers associated with a profile. For more information, see The dspwasinst script.

• -profileName
  This is an optional parameter. The value profile specifies the name of the profile that contains the application server you want to change. The default value is default.

• -node
  (Network Deployment) This is an optional parameter. The value nodename specifies the node that hosts the application server that you want to change. The default value is the Network Deployment managing profile.

• -portblock
  This is an optional parameter. The value portblock specifies the first number of a block of port numbers that your profile uses. If you specify this parameter, the script changes all of the port numbers for your application server. If you do not specify this parameter, the port numbers for your application server are not changed, unless you specify a port parameter to change (see port parameters below). You can use the Work with TCP/IP Network Status (NETSTAT *CNN) command to display a list of port numbers that are currently being used.

  Note:

  A WebSphere Application Server profile uses several ports for various functions. When you change an application server's properties, ports are assigned based on the following ordered conditions:

  1. Specific port parameters
     If you specify values for specific port parameters, the script uses those values. Specific port parameters are -inthttp (Base application server), -admin, -soap, -orblistener (Network Deployment), -nameservice, -drsclient, and -celldiscovery (Network Deployment).
  2. The -portblock parameter
     Services for which you have not specified a port number are assigned ports sequentually starting with the value of the -portblock parameter. If a script encounters a port that is in use, it skips that port number and continues with the next unused port.
  3. Current values
     If -portblock is not specified, any services for which you have not specified a port parameter retain their current value.

• -transport
  This is an optional parameter set. The value oldvalue specifies the port number of the Web container transport that you want to change. The value newvalue specifies the new port number that you want to assign to the Web container transport. If the Web Container transport is also specified in the host alias for a virtual host, the port for the host alias is also updated.

  Note: Use the -transport parameter set instead of the -admin, -adminssl, -inthttp or -inthttpssl parameters. These parameters are deprecated.

• -endpoint
  This is an optional parameter. The value endpointname specifies the name of the endpoint port to modify. The value newvalue specifies port number to which to set the endpoint's port.

• -virtualhost
  This is an optional parameter. The value oldvalue specifies the virtual host port to change. The value newvalue specifies the new value to set. The optional -vhost parameter allows you to specify the name of the virtual host whose port you wish to change. If the -vhost parameter is not specified, all occurrence of oldvalue for all virtual hosts are changed.

• -inthttp
  This is an optional parameter. The value inthttpport specifies the port number on which the Web container listens for requests from the Web server. If neither the -portblock parameter nor the -inthttp parameter is specified, this port is not changed. See the Note on the -portblock parameter for more information.

• -inthttpssl
  This is an optional parameter. The value inthttpsslport specifies the port number that your application server uses for secure communications with internal HTTP server. If neither the -portblock parameter nor the -inthttpssl parameter is specified, this port is not changed. See the Note on the -portblock parameter for more information.

• -admin
  This is an optional parameter. The value adminport specifies the port number to use for the administrative console. If neither the -portblock parameter nor the -admin parameter is specified, this port is not changed. See the Note on the -portblock parameter for more information.

• -adminssl
  This is an optional parameter. The value adminportssl specifies the port number to use for the secure communications with administrative console. If neither the -portblock parameter nor the -adminssl parameter is specified, this port is not changed. See the Note on the -portblock parameter for more information.

• -soap
  This is an optional parameter. The value soapport specifies the port number to use for Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). If neither the -portblock parameter nor the -soap parameter is specified, this port is not changed. See the Note on the -portblock parameter for more information.

• -orblistener
  (Network Deployment) This is an optional parameter. The value orblistenerport specifies the port number to use for the orb listener port. If neither the -portblock or -orblistener parameter is specified, this port is not changed. See the Note on the -portblock parameter for more information.

• -nameservice
  This is an optional parameter. The value nameserviceport specifies the port number to use for name service (or RMI connector) port. If neither the -portblock parameter nor the -nameservice parameter is specified, this port is not changed. See the Note on the -portblock parameter for more information.

• -drsclient
  This is an optional parameter. The value drsclientport specifies the port number to use for the Data Replication Service (DRS) client. If neither the -portblock parameter nor the -drsclient parameter is specified, this port is not changed. See the Note on the -portblock parameter for more information.

• -celldiscovery
  (Network Deployment) This is an optional parameter. The value celldiscoveryport specifies the port on which the Network Deployment profile listens for a node attempting to find the cell to which the node belongs. If neither the -portblock parameter nor the -celldiscovery parameter is specified, this port is not changed. See the Note on the -portblock parameter for more information.

• -sas
  This is an optional parameter. The value sasserverport specifies the port on which the Secure Association Services (SAS) listen for inbound authentication requests. If the -sas parameter is not specified, this port is not changed. This port is specified by the SAS_SSL_SERVERAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS property in serverindex.xml.

• -csiv2server
  This is an optional parameter. The value csiv2serverauthport specifies the port on which the Common Secure Interoperability Version 2 (CSIV2) Service listens for inbound server authentication requests. If the -csiv2server parameter is not specified, this port is not changed. This port is specified by the CSIV2_SSL_SERVERAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS property in serverindex.xml.

• -csiv2client
  This is an optional parameter. The value csiv2clientauthport specifies the port on which the Common Secure Interoperability Version 2 (CSIV2) Service listens for inbound client authentication requests. If the -csiv2client parameter is not specified, this port is not changed. This port is specified by the CSIV2_SSL_MUTUALAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS property in serverindex.xml.

• -nodediscovery
  This is an optional parameter. The value nodediscport specifies the port on which the node agent's node discovery service listens.

• -nodemulti
  This is an optional parameter. The value nodemultidiscport specifies the port on which the node agent's multicast discovery service listens.

• -verbose
  This optional parameter turns on verbose messages, which can be helpful if you need to debug the script.

• -help
  This optional parameter displays the help message. If you specify this parameter, the script ignores all other parameters.
