Default port numbers
Review this information for the default port numbers that are used by WebSphere Commerce or its component products.
The ports that are listed are defaults only. The actual port numbers that are used when you create your profile might be different. Ensure that the ports listed are not in use when you create a WebSphere Commerce instance. If you have a firewall that is configured in your 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.
Note: Changing ports on WebSphere Commerce Developer is not
recommended and is not supported. WebSphere Commerce Developer has its own integrated HTTP service
and if you change port numbers, you might encounter some unpredicted issues on the
storefront.

following ports:

- WebSphere Application Server SOAP connector address
- WebSphere Application Server HTTP transport
