Task 2.2 Configuring FAS Communication Ports

The File-AID Services Configuration Utility allows you to override the default port assignments. The following default bi-directional port numbers activated when FAS is installed:

1. 
   
   • Server port: 3081
   • Data Privacy execution port: 4180
   • File-AID/Data Solutions interface port: 5180
   • communication manager port: 4901

The utility can also be used to change the port assignments configured with File-AID/EX and File-AID/Data Solutions (see Ports Used by File-AID Services and Task 5.3.2 Configure Enterprise Data Components on Mainframe).

Lastly, FAS uses default port 4082 to handle notification messages. This port is dynamic and is controlled by a notifications callback port preference that can be changed at Window > Preferences > Compuware > Notifications.

For Windows

1. Use the Start > Programs > Compuware > Server > Server Configuration shortcut to invoke the utility. The Compuware File-AID Services Configuration dialog box appears.
2. Select the Communications tab.
3. Overtype any port numbers you want to modify.
4. Click OK.
5. Stop and restart File-AID Services or the File-AID communication manager, depending on which ports were changed.

For Linux

1. In the directory containing the installed FAS, issue the shell command: ./runServerConfig.sh
2. Review and change any port numbers you want to modify.
3. Stop and restart File-AID Services service or the File-AID communication manager, depending on which ports were changed. See Control FAS.
4. Be sure to modify the Topaz Workbench configuration, File-AID/EX configuration, and/or File-AID/Data Privacy configurations to match your new port assignments.
