Changing ports | HCL Digital Experience

You can change the HCL Digital Experience ports values after installation if there are port conflicts with other cells on the system.

Before you begin

HCL Portal is installed.
Note: The starting port parameter is required for a successful completion of the modify-ports-by-startport task. When you 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 that the HCL Portal ports are assigned incrementally starting with the port defined with the modify-ports-by-startport task.

Procedure

  1. Run the following task from the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine directory to generate the HCL Portal and HCL Web Content Manager_PortMatrix.txt file:
    Note: The port file is in the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine/log directory. It lists the HCL Portal HCL Digital Experience ports for your installation.
    • AIX® HP-UX Linux™ Solaris: 
      ./ConfigEngine.sh list-server-ports-by-name -DServerName=HCL Portal and HCL Web Content Manager
-DWasPassword=password
    • Windows™: 
      ConfigEngine.bat list-server-ports-by-name -DServerName=HCL Portal and HCL Web Content Manager
-DWasPassword=password
    • IBM® i: 
      ConfigEngine.sh list-server-ports-by-name -DServerName=HCL Portal and HCL Web Content Manager
-DWasPassword=password
    • z/OS®: 
      ./ConfigEngine.sh list-server-ports-by-name -DServerName=HCL Portal and HCL Web Content Manager
-DWasPassword=password
  2. Stop the HCL Portal server.
  3. Run the following command to change the starting port number:
    • AIX® HP-UX Linux™ Solaris: 
      ./ConfigEngine.sh modify-ports-by-startport -DWasPassword=password
-DModifyPortsServer=HCL Portal and HCL Web Content Manager -DStartPort=starting port
number
    • Windows™: 
      ConfigEngine.bat modify-ports-by-startport -DWasPassword=password
-DModifyPortsServer=HCL Portal and HCL Web Content Manager -DStartPort=starting port
number
    • IBM® i: 
      ConfigEngine.sh modify-ports-by-startport -DWasPassword=password
-DModifyPortsServer=HCL Portal and HCL Web Content Manager -DStartPort=starting port
number
    • z/OS®: 
      ./ConfigEngine.sh modify-ports-by-startport -DWasPassword=password
-DModifyPortsServer=HCL Portal and HCL Web Content Manager -DStartPort=starting port
number
  4. Run the following command to change ports by using the port file:
    Note: 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 your environment:

    • AIX® HP-UX Linux™ Solaris: 
      ./ConfigEngine.sh modify-ports-by-portsfile -DWasPassword=password
