Change default port numbers

You can change the default IBM OpenPages® with Watson™ port numbers after installation.

Important: Only ports 80, 443, or an open port in the range 1024 - 65535 can be used as the IBM OpenPages with Watson application port number.

The OpenPages with Watson installer sets several default ports during installation, such as the ports for the OpenPages server.

After installing the application, you can change the OpenPages ports to different ports, if needed. For example, in the event of a port conflict, where another application is using these port ranges, you can change the OpenPages ports to avoid the conflict.

For a port conflict, change all of the OpenPages application server ports to a new range. Follow the instructions in the following section.

Important:
  • Do not change the port number for the OpenPages with Watson administrative server.
  • To modify port numbers on other application servers in a cluster, repeat the following tasks on each cluster member.
