Changing the ports used for WebSphere Commerce tools
In the Instance creation wizard, you can specify the ports that are used for WebSphere Commerce tools. You can also change the ports after instance creation.
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.

- From the list of instances, expand the instance for which you want to change the tools ports.
