Installing › Update the Apache Tomcat Configuration File

Update the Apache Tomcat Configuration File

The Asset Management System (AMS) lets you view discovered and owned data for an asset that has been linked through reconciliation, including system configuration, operating system, system devices, and file systems. The AMS requires that you install the Java Development Kit (JDK) before you start the CA APM installation, and also requires the Apache Tomcat server, which is included with the CA APM installation. The default value for the Apache Tomcat server port is 9080. You can change this value after the installation. You first update the port in the Apache Tomcat configuration file. Then, you change the port in the product (Administration tab, System Configuration, AMS).

Important! The Tomcat port number for CA APM defaults to 9080. If another product that is integrated with CA APM uses this port number, change the port number in CA APM so that you do not have a conflict.

To update the Apache Tomcat configuration file

1. On the application server where AMS is installed, navigate to one of the following folders, depending on your server:

   C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\AMS\Tomcat\conf (for 32-bit)
   

   C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SharedComponents\AMS\Tomcat\conf (for 64-bit)
   

2. Select and open the server.xml file.
3. Navigate to the following section of the server.xml file:

   <Connector port="9080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
   

   connectionTimeout="20000"
   redirectPort="8443" />
   

4. Update the Tomcat port number with the same number that CA APM uses (Administration tab, System Configuration, AMS).
5. Save the server.xml file.
