[Version 5.0.2 and later]Default coexistence settings for port numbers

This topic provides reference information for identifying port numbers in WebSphere Application Server, Version 5.x in coexistence mode.

You must verify that you are using ports that do not conflict with other products and programs running on your node. These ports are the default coexistence ports. You can display the default coexistence ports when the installation wizard detects a previous installation of Application Sever and displays the check box for selecting coexistence ports. Select the check box to show the ports. Change the ports to avoid conflicts.

You can also force the installation wizard to display the coexistence ports by using the following parameter on the installation command. The example shows the installation command for Linux and UNIX-based systems. You can find the commands for supported operating systems in Installing the product.

You can also force the appearance of the coexistence panel to change conflicting port number assignments. For example, the AIX WebSM system management server listens on port 9090 by default. To avoid a conflict with the administrative console port (HTTP_TRANSPORT_ADMIN) assignment, which is also 9090 by default, force the coexistence panel to appear using this command:

./install -W showCoexistencePanel.active="true"

[5.0 only][Version 5.0.1][Version 5.0.2]Default port numbers for coexistence for Version V5.0.x

After installing a product with the port numbers that you select on the coexistence panel (or in the response file for a silent installation), you can use the administrative console to configure port numbers and resolve conflicting ports.

[5.0 only][Version 5.0.1][Version 5.0.2]The Enterprise product extensions use the same ports as the base WebSphere Application Server product.

  1. You can use the connector type and port number parameters of certain commands to identify the bootstrap port number that you specify for the remote method invocation (RMI) connector address in a coexistence scenario. For example, to use the wsadmin command in a coexistence environment, you can specify either of the following commands:
    wsadmin.bat/sh -conntype RMI -port portNumber
    wsadmin.bat/sh -conntype SOAP -port portNumber

Alternatively, you can update the wsadmin.properties file located in the install_root/properties directory to contain the new port values. If you update this file, you do not need to specify the port parameter when using the wsadmin tool.

The SOAP connection type uses the SOAP connector address port number described next.

If you edit the serverindex.xml file, verify that the host name is the valid host name for the machine and not the generic localhost identifier.





Port names, default value, and description Value
  • Field name in the installation wizard: SOAP Connector Address
  • Field name in the base WebSphere Application Server serverindex.xml configuration file: SOAP_CONNECTOR-ADDRESS EndPoint_2
  • Field name in the Network Deployment serverindex.xml configuration file: SOAP_CONNECTOR-ADDRESS EndPoint_4
  • Field name in the silent installation response file: PME_CoexistenceInformationPanel.soapConnectorAddress
  • Base WebSphere Application Server, default value: 8880
  • Network Deployment, default value: 8879
  • Information center description: Port used for the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) connector
Base: 8881, ND: 8889

You can use the connector type and port number parameters of certain commands to identify the port number that you specify for the SOAP connector address in a coexistence scenario. For example, to use the wsadmin command in a coexistence environment, you can specify either of the following commands:

wsadmin.bat/sh -conntype RMI -port portNumber
wsadmin.bat/sh -conntype SOAP -port portNumber

Alternatively, you can update the wsadmin.properties file located in the install_root/properties directory to contain the new port values. If you update this file, you do not need to specify the port parameter when using the wsadmin tool.

The remote method invocation (RMI) connection type uses the bootstrap port number described previously.

Setting the object request broker (ORB) listener port to a value of 0 or greater causes all object references in the name space to specify their connection to the server and not depend on the location service daemon (LSD) to redirect connections to the server. An ORB_LISTENER_ADDRESS value equal to 0 starts the server on any available port and does not use the LSD. A value greater than 0 starts the server on the specified port and does not use the LSD.
