Update the Apache Tomcat Configuration File

The Common Asset Viewer lets you view discovered and owned data for an asset that has been linked through reconciliation. This data includes system configuration, operating system, system devices, and file systems. The Common Asset Viewer requires that you install the Java Development Kit (JDK) before you start the CA APM installation. The Common Asset Viewer also requires the Apache Tomcat server, which is included with the CA APM installation. 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, Common Asset Viewer).

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.

Follow these steps:

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

   C:\Program Files\CA\SC\AMS\Tomcat\conf (for 32-bit operating systems)
   

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

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, Common Asset Viewer).
5. Save the server.xml file.
