Changing the default Integration Service TCP control port

The default Integration Service TCP control port is 12124. You might need to change the default TCP control port if it is forbidden by a firewall, or if it is being used by an existing application. The procedure to change the TCP control port varies by whether the Integration Service is installed on Solaris, Linux, or Microsoft Windows.

To change the Integration Service control port on Solaris or Linux

1. On the Integration Service computer, open the /usr/pw/custom/conf/pronet.conf file in a text editor.

2. Scroll to the # Apps propertiessection and find (assuming the factory defaults are still listed) the following entry:

   pronet.apps.agent.port=12124

   
   
   Apps properties section of pronet.conf
   
   

3. Change the port to the desired value. For example, from 12124 to 12199.
   Save the changes and exit the text editor.
4. From a command line, restart the Integration Service by entering:
   pw agent start
   
   The Integration Service stops, then starts again using the revised pronet.conf file. (Allow several minutes for this action to complete.)

To change the Integration Service control port on Microsoft Windows

1. On the Integration Service computer, in a text editor, open installationDirectory/agent/custom/conf/pronet.conf.

2. Scroll to the following entry (assuming the factory defaults are still listed):

   pronet.apps.agent.port=12124

   
   
   Apps properties section of pronet.conf
   
   

3. Edit this entry by replacing the port number to the desired value.
   For example: change 12124 to 12199.
4. Save the changes and close the text editor.
5. To stop and then re-start Integration Service (Microsoft Windows), navigate to Start > Settings > Control Panel.
   1. Double-click the Services icon to launch the Services dialog box.
   2. Locate local agent on the list of services, highlight, then click Stop. Click Yes to close the warning message that is displayed.
      
      The status for the local agent service changes from Started to (blank).
   3. With the local agent service still highlighted, click Start.
      
      The status for local agent changes from (blank) to Started.
   4. Close the Service and Control Panel windows.
