Example: Using predefined port numbers

The manageprofiles command recommends initial port values when you do not explicitly set port values. You can use predefined port values instead.

The manageprofiles command recommends port values when the options of -defaultPorts, -startingPort, or -portFile are not specified. The default port values are located in the app_server_root/profileTemplates/template_type/actions/portsUpdate/portdef.props file. To customize the port values in the portdef.props file before creating your profile, perform the following steps. The following example creates the default profile. For other types of profiles, substitute all instances of the word default in the example with the type of profile that you want to create.

1. Copy the app_server_root/profileTemplates/default/actions/portsUpdate/portdef.props file from the default profile template path and place a copy of the file in an arbitrary temporary directory such as \temp\ports.

2. In the new file, modify the port settings to specify your port values.

3. Create your profile using the modified port values. Use the manageprofiles command and specify the -portsFile parameter to the location of your modified portdef.props file as shown in the following example:

Suppose that the portdef.props file has the following values:

WC_defaulthost=39080
WC_adminhost=39060
WC_defaulthost_secure=39443
WC_adminhost_secure=39043
BOOTSTRAP_ADDRESS=32809
SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS=38880
SAS_SSL_SERVERAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS=39401
CSIV2_SSL_SERVERAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS=39403
CSIV2_SSL_MUTUALAUTH_LISTENER_ADDRESS=39402
ORB_LISTENER_ADDRESS=39100
DCS_UNICAST_ADDRESS=39353
SIB_ENDPOINT_ADDRESS=37276
SIB_ENDPOINT_SECURE_ADDRESS=37286
SIB_MQ_ENDPOINT_ADDRESS=35558
SIB_MQ_ENDPOINT_SECURE_ADDRESS=35578
SIP_DEFAULTHOST=35060
SIP_DEFAULTHOST_SECURE=35061

After running the manageprofiles command to create your profile with the user defined port values, a success or fail result displays.

The manageprofiles command creates a copy of the current portdefs.props file in the profile_root\properties directory.

Use only one of the three port values parameters, -startingPort, -defaultPorts, or -portsFile with the manageprofiles command. The three parameters are mutually exclusive.
