How to change the port no of the sia and cmc

[Former Member]

I am using Business object xi 3.1 and it is installed on the default ports

i.e sia 6401 and cmc 6400

I want to use Lifecycle management ( lcm ) to transfer files between two machines

located in different places. But the port no 6400 is blocked.

Can i change the port no used by Business objects so that i can transfer files between

the 2 locations.

Any documentation or steps would be helpful.

Thank you

Hi Sridhar,

Kindly implement the following steps:

1. Launch CCM and stop the SIA Services. Open the SIA server properties.

2. Click on Startup and Click on Central Management Server.

3. Change the port no here.

4. Click on Configuration tab change the port number of SIA here.

5. Browse the Business objects Directory (<>:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\CmcApp\WEB-INF).

6. Open the Web.xml file in notepad and change the port number to 6400(<param-value>Athens:6400</param-value>

7. Do the same steps for InfoViewApp.

8. Restart the SIA and Tomcat Services from CCM.

I hope it helps; let me know if you find difficulty while implementing the steps.

Hi Sridhar,

Yur CMS server must be down; check if you are able to see all the servers in CCM by clicking on Manage Servers option. Also make sure you have made the necessary changes in the web.xml file of InfoViewApp and CmcApp application.

If not, then you can recreate the SIA and CMS server with new port number by following steps:

1. Launch CCM.

2. Click on the "+" button from the menu : "Add Server Intelligent Agent"

3. Click on next when you are prompted when wizard starts. You are prompted for the SIA name and his port. Put the same name you have for the existing SIA (normally the first SIA configured on your system used the Server hostname with not symbols)

4. The default SIA port is 6410, change it to the one you want (example 6399)

5. Select the third option "Create default server on the new node"

6. Select "Recreate Server intelligent Agent on the local host, if it already exists in the CMS System Database"

7.The Central Management Server (CMS) port can also be changed. Select your existing CMS and Audit databases

8. Confirm the Summary window if everything is what you want

9. After the configuration Start the SIA

10. Check the new port from the CCM/Configuration Tab and test the issue.

Hi,

I am using BO 4.1.

Some one from the admin's group has changed the CMS port number. Can some one tell me if there is any way to track the name of the BO user who has changed the CMS port number.

Thanks,

Hi!

Did you make sure that the responding port is open?

You can define the port for the CentralManagementServer via CCM -> Serverproperties -> Startup -> Port.

Within the Command Line you need to enter "-requestport 6401"

And everything else via http://yourserver:8080/CmcApp -> Servers

where you can define the Requestports to be used.
