Change ports

We can change the IBM WebSphere Portal ports values after installation if there are port conflicts with other cells on the system.

WebSphere Portal is installed.

The starting port parameter is required for a successful completion of the modify-ports-by-startport task. When we specify a start port, this port becomes the base for assigning port values. The code increments this value as each port is assigned, which means the WebSphere Portal ports are assigned incrementally starting with the port defined with the modify-ports-by-startport task.

1. Generate the WebSphere_Portal_PortMatrix.txt file:
   cd WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine
   ./ConfigEngine.sh list-server-ports-by-name -DServerName=WebSphere_Portal -DWasPassword=foo

   The port file is in...

   WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine/log

   It lists the WebSphere Portal (WebSphere_Portal) ports for the installation.

2. Stop the WebSphere_Portal server.

3. Change the starting port number:
   ./ConfigEngine.sh modify-ports-by-startport -DWasPassword=foo -DModifyPortsServer=WebSphere_Portal -DStartPort=starting port number

4. Change ports using the port file:

   Sample port files are available on the Setup disc. The following information is an example of a port file although the port values are different based on the environment:

   BOOTSTRAP_ADDRESS=10035
   SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS=10025
   ORB_LISTENER_ADDRESS=10034  SAS_SSL_SERVERAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS=10041
   CSIV2_SSL_SERVERAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS=10036
   CSIV2_SSL_MUTUALAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS=10033
   WC_adminhost=10042
   WC_defaulthost=10039
   DCS_UNICAST_ADDRESS=10030
   WC_adminhost_secure=10032
   WC_defaulthost_secure=10029
   SIP_DEFAULTHOST=10027
   SIP_DEFAULTHOST_SECURE=10026
   IPC_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS=10037
   SIB_ENDPOINT_ADDRESS=10028
   SIB_ENDPOINT_SECURE_ADDRESS=10038
   SIB_MQ_ENDPOINT_ADDRESS=10040
   SIB_MQ_ENDPOINT_SECURE_ADDRESS=10031

   ./ConfigEngine.sh modify-ports-by-portsfile -DWasPassword=foo -DModifyPortsServer=WebSphere_Portal -DPortsFile=full path to ports file

5. Restart the WebSphere_Portal server.
