Changing the solidDB port

About this task

To change the solidDB® communications port number, access the machine on which you have installed the AppScan® Source Database and follow the steps in this topic.
Important: If you change the solidDB port, you must run the appscanserverdbmgr tool to register the updated database location with the server. See Registering the AppScan Source Database with AppScan Enterprise Server for information about this tool.

Procedure

  1. Open <install_dir>\solidDB\appscansrc\solid.ini (on Windows™) or <install_dir>/soliddb/appscansrc/solid.ini (on Linux™) (where <install_dir> is the location of your AppScan Source installation). In the file, locate the NETWORK NAME setting and change its port number value. For example if you have installed the database on Windows and want to change its port number to 12345, find Listen=tcpip 2315, nmpipe SOLID ; Windows (the default value of the setting on Windows) and change it to Listen=tcpip 12345, nmpipe SOLID ; Windows. Save the changes to the file.
  2. Open <data_dir>\config\database.ozsettings (on Windows) or <data_dir>/config/database.ozsettings (on Linux) (where <data_dir> is the location of your AppScan Source program data, as described in Installation and user data file locations). In the file, locate the db_connection_information setting and change its port number value. For example if you want to change the port number to 12345, find value="tcp localhost 2315" and change it to value="tcp localhost 12345". Save the changes to the file.
  3. Restart the HCL® AppScan Source DB service.
