Modifying the port number on the BMC AR system server

This topic provides steps for modifying the AR Port number used by BMC AR System Server (Cloud Portal and Database). For more information about ports to map to when working with the BMC products in the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management solution, see Port mappings.

Important

You cannot update the AR Port number during installation of the AR Server. The default AR Port number is 0.

See the following steps for modifying the AR Port number:

Step 1: Modifying the port number on the BMC Remedy AR Server

  1. Log on to the BMC Remedy AR Server.

  2. Navigate to the installation folder of the BMC Remedy AR System server.

    Tip

    • On Microsoft Windows, installation path is typically C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\.
    • On Linux, installation path is typically  /opt/bmc/ARSystem/.
  3. Edit the ar.confEmailDaemon.properties, and pluginsvr_config.xml files in the BMC Remedy AR System installation folder. The path to each file and steps to edit the files are provided in the following table:

    PathFile nameSteps to update the file
    <AR_System_installation_folder_path>/conf/ar.conf

    Append the following strings to the file:

    TCD-Specific-Port: <port_number>
    Register-With-Portmapper: T

    <port_number> is

    <AR_System_installation_folder_path>/AREmail/EmailDaemon.propertiescom.bmc.arsys.emaildaemon.<ar_server_hostname>.TCP=<port_number>
    <AR_System_installation_folder_path>/pluginsvr/pluginsvr_config.xmlAdd the port number within the <server_port> XML tag, as displayed below:
    <server_port> <port_number> </server_port>
    <AR_System_installation_folder_path>/

    ARSystemInstalledConfiguration.xml

    Add the port number within the <BMC_AR_PORT> XML tag, as displayed below:

    <property>

          <name>BMC_AR_PORT</name>

          <value><port_number></value>

    </property>

    Note

    If there are any secondary BMC Remedy AR Servers in the same server group, perform this step for those servers as well.

Step 2: Updating the new AR Server port number on the Platform Manager

  1. Log on to the Platform Manager server.

  2. Navigate to the installation folder of the PlatformManager.

    Tip

    • On Microsoft Windows, installation path is typically C:\Program Files\BMC Software\BMCCloudLifeCycleManagement.
    • On Linux, installation path is typically /opt/bmc/BMCCloudLifeCycleManagement.
  3. Edit the cloudservices.json file. The path to the file and steps to edit the file is provided in the following table:

    PathFile nameSteps to update the file
    <Platform_manager_Installation_folder>\configuration\cloudservices.json

    Perform a search for the following strings, which are in bold, and set the desired port number:

    • Enterprise Database(AR) Port: You will typically find one instance of this string.
    • Database(AR) Server Port: You will typically find two instances of this string.
    • Enterprise Database(AR) Port: You will typically find one instance of this string.
    • Database(AR) Server Port : You will typically find two instances of this string.

    • On Linux, installation path is typically /opt/bmc/AtriumWebRegistry/.
  3. Edit the AtriumProperties.xml and cmdbws.properties files. The path to each file and steps to edit the files are provided in the following table:

    PathFile nameSteps to update the file
    <AWR_Installation_Directory>\wsc\atriumws81\conf\AtriumProperties.xmlSet the AR Server Port number.
    <AWR_Installation_Directory>\wsc\cmdbws\cmdbws.propertiesSet the desired AR Server Port number.

Step 4: Updating the new AR Server port number on the mid-tier AR Server

  1. Log on to the mid-tier AR server configuration tool by entering the following URL:
    https://<Mid_Tier_hostname>:<port>/arsys/shared/config/config.jsp
  2. Edit the AR Server port to the new port number.

Step 5: Updating the new AR Server port number on the BMC Server Automation Console
