Port assignments

Both dedicated ports and ports that are dynamically assigned for each installation are used for the IBM OpenPages® installation. These default ports can be changed after installation.

Default ports

The following table lists the default ports.

Files containing port numbers

After installation, you can view the OpenPages application port assignments in the following file on each application server: <OP_HOME>/wlp-usr/servers/<server_name>Server<#>/bootstrap.properties.

The following table lists property files on the OpenPages admin application server that contain port numbers for other components.

Table 2. Files that contain port numbers
Port File name Parameter Name
Application server ports <OP_HOME>/wlp-usr/servers/<server_name>Server<#>/bootstrap.properties op.http.port

op.https.port if you are using SSL

Dynamically assigned ports for application servers

Port numbers for IBM OpenPages servers are assigned during the installation process. The starting port number of an application server is defined in OP Cluster Start Port in the installation app. Dynamic ports are assigned starting from the OP Cluster Start Port.

For admin application servers, the following ports are used:
  • OP Cluster Start Port
  • OP Cluster Start Port + 8
  • OP Cluster Start Port + 11
  • OP Cluster Start Port + 17
  • OP Cluster Start Port + 18
For non-admin application servers, the following ports are used:
  • OP Cluster Start Port
  • OP Cluster Start Port + 8
  • OP Cluster Start Port + 11
If an application server has more than one vertical cluster member, two more ports are used for each of them. The ports are incremented by 20 for each vertical cluster member. For example, if an application server has two cluster members, that is OP Vertical Cluster Number = 2, the additional ports are:
  • OP Cluster Start Port + 20 + 8
  • OP Cluster Start Port + 20 + 11
The following list shows some examples:
Admin application server
If OP Cluster Start Port = 10100 and OP Vertical Cluster Number = 1, the required ports are:
  • 10100
  • 10108
  • 10111
  • 10117
  • 10118
Non-admin application server
If OP Cluster Start Port = 10120 and OP Vertical Cluster Number = 1, the required ports are:
  • 10120
  • 10128
  • 10131
Non-admin application server with vertical cluster members
If OP Cluster Start Port = 10120 and OP Vertical Cluster Number = 3, the required ports are:
  • 10120
  • 10128
  • 10131
  • 10148
  • 10151
  • 10168
  • 10171
