The chgwassvr command allows you to change the ports for
an application server within a profile.
For usage instructions and examples, see the Change application server
properties article. To run this script, your user profile must have *ALLOBJ
authority.
In a Network Deployment environment, use the chgwassvr command
from the Network Deployment profile to modify port values for the servers
managed by the deployment manager for the cell. When you modify a port of
a managed server, you must use the -node parameter to specify the node name
of the managed node that contains the server that you want to modify. The
configuration documents for the servers are updated when the next synchronization
between the deployment manager and the nodes occurs. You can also synchronize
the configuration with the syncNode command. For more information,
see syncNode command article. You run the syncNode command
from the WebSphere Application Server base application server for the node.
You can also use the administrative console to create and manage application
servers. See the Administering application servers article for more
information.

Parameters
The following options are available for
the chgwassvr command:
- -server
- This is a required parameter. The value servername specifies the name
of the server to change. For the default WebSphere Application Server profile,
the default server name is server1. For the default Network Deployment
profile, the default server name is dmgr. The value for this parameter
is case-sensitive and must match the server name exactly. You can use the dspwasinst command
to view the servers associated with a profile. For more information, see the dspwasinst command article.
- -profileName
- This is an optional parameter. The value profile specifies the
name of the profile that contains the application server you want to change.
The default value is default.
- -node
- This is an optional parameter. The value nodename specifies the
node that hosts the application server that you want to change. The default
value is the Network Deployment managing profile.
- -portblock
- This is an optional parameter. The value portblock specifies the
first number of a block of port numbers that your profile uses. If you specify
this parameter, the script changes all of the port numbers for your application
server. If you do not specify this parameter, the port numbers for your application
server are not changed, unless you specify a port parameter to change (see
port parameters below). You can use the Work with TCP/IP Network Status (NETSTAT
*CNN) command to display a list of port numbers that are currently being used.
- A WebSphere Application Server profile uses several ports for various
functions. When you change an application server's properties, ports are assigned
based on the following ordered conditions:
- Specific port parameters If you specify values for specific port
parameters, the script uses those values. Specific port parameters are -inthttp
(Base application server), -admin, -jmsqueued (Base application server), -jmsdirect
(Base application server), -jmssecure (Base application server), -soap, -orblistener
(Network Deployment), -nameservice, -drsclient, and -celldiscovery (Network
Deployment).
- The -portblock parameter Services for which you have not specified
a port number are assigned ports sequentually starting with the value of the
-portblock parameter. If a script encounters a port that is in use, it skips
that port number and continues with the next unused port.
- Current values If -portblock is not specified, any services for
which you have not specified a port parameter retain their current value.
- For the -portblock parameter, the script checks only a master index of
all profiles of WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1 and WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment Version 5.1. The script is not able to detect port
usage by other applications, including previous versions of WebSphere Application
Server.
- -transport
- This is an optional parameter set. The value oldvalue specifies
the port number of the Web container transport that you want to change. The
value newvalue specifies the new port number that you want to assign to the
Web container transport. If the Web Container transport is also specified
in the host alias for a virtual host, the port for the host alias is also
updated.
Use the -transport parameter set instead of the -admin, -adminssl,
-inthttp or -inthttpssl parameters. These parameters are deprecated.
- -endpoint
- This is an optional parameter. The value endpointname specifies
the name of the endpoint port to modify. The value newvalue specifies
port number to which to set the endpoint's port.
- -inthttp
- This is an optional parameter. The value inthttpport specifies
the port number on which the Web container listens for requests from the Web
server. If neither the -portblock parameter nor the -inthttp parameter is
specified, this port is not changed. See the -portblock parameter for more
information.
- -inthttpssl
- This is an optional parameter. The value inthttpsslport specifies
the port number that your application server uses for secure communications
with internal HTTP server. If neither the -portblock parameter nor the -inthttpssl
parameter is specified, this port is not changed. See the -portblock parameter
for more information.
- -admin
- This is an optional parameter. The value adminport specifies the port
number to use for the administrative console. If neither the -portblock parameter
nor the -admin parameter is specified, this port is not changed. See the -portblock
parameter for more information
- -adminssl
- This is an optional parameter. The value adminportssl specifies
the port number to use for the secure communications with administrative console.
If neither the -portblock parameter nor the -adminssl parameter is specified,
this port is not changed. See the -portblock parameter for more information.
- -soap
- This is an optional parameter. The value soapport specifies the
port number to use for SOAP. If neither the -portblock parameter nor the -soap
parameter is specified, this port is not changed. See the -portblock parameter
for more information.
- -nameservice
- This is an optional parameter. The value nameserviceport specifies the
port number to use for name service (or RMI connector) port. If neither the
-portblock parameter nor the -nameservice parameter is specified, this port
is not changed. See the -portblock parameter for more information.
- -celldiscovery
- This is an optional parameter. The value celldiscoveryport specifies
the port on which the Network Deployment profile listens for a node attempting
to find the cell to which the node belongs. If neither the -portblock parameter
nor the -celldiscovery parameter is specified, this port is not changed. See
the -portblock parameter for more information.
- -sas
- This is an optional parameter. The value sasserverport specifies
the port on which the Secure Association Services (SAS) listen for inbound
authentication requests. If the -sas parameter is not specified, this port
is not changed. This port is specified by the SAS_SSL_SERVERAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS
property in serverindex.xml.
- -csiv2server
- This is an optional parameter. The value csiv2serverauthport specifies
the port on which the Common Secure Interoperability Version 2 (CSIV2) Service
listens for inbound server authentication requests. If the -csiv2server parameter
is not specified, this port is not changed. This port is specified by the
CSIV2_SSL_SERVERAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS property in serverindex.xml.
- -csiv2client
- This is an optional parameter. The value csiv2clientauthport specifies
the port on which the Common Secure Interoperability Version 2 (CSIV2) Service
listens for inbound client authentication requests. If the -csiv2client parameter
is not specified, this port is not changed. This port is specified by the
CSIV2_SSL_MUTUALAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS property in serverindex.xml.
- -nodediscovery
- This is an optional parameter. The value nodediscport specifies
the port on which the node of the node agent discovery service listens.
- -nodemulti
- This is an optional parameter. The value nodemultidiscport specifies
the port on which the node agent's multicast discovery service listens.
- -verbose
- This optional parameter turns on verbose messages, which can be helpful
if you need to debug the script.
- -help
- This optional parameter displays the help message. If you specify this
parameter, the script ignores all other parameters.
