Configuring an SSA Port › Configure an SSA Port

Configure an SSA Port

You can configure an SSA port. There are several reasons why you might want to reconfigure the port that the application server listens to. For example, you might want to reconfigure the port in the following situations:

• The default virtual port is in use by another CA Technologies product and you want that product to continue using that virtual port.
• You want to enable more than one application server to run on the same host, which requires you to specify a unique virtual port for each application server.

Note: By default, port multiplexing is enabled on CA Workload Automation AE, and the CA Workload Automation AE installation configures SSA to recognize virtual port 9000 for the application server. If you install multiple CA Workload Automation AE instances on the same computer, subsequent installations use incremental virtual port numbers, such as 9001, 9002, and so on.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Start, Programs, CA, Workload Automation AE, Administrator.

   The Instance - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window opens.

2. Select an instance from the Instance drop-down list in the Settings pane.
3. Click the Services icon on the toolbar.

   The Services - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears, displaying a list of services installed on the selected instance.

4. Right-click the scheduler and select Stop. Repeat this action for the application server and agent.

   The scheduler, application server, and agent stop.

5. Stop the CA Connection Broker service from the Windows Service Control Manager.
6. Configure the SSA port as follows:
   1. Click the SSA icon on the toolbar.

      The SSA - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears, displaying the details of the CA Workload Automation AE communication ports.

   2. Double-click the port number to configure.

      The port details are displayed in the Port Configuration pane.

   3. Select the following options in the Port Configuration pane as appropriate, and click Set.

      Enable Port Multiplexing (PMUX)

      Enables port multiplexing.

      Enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL)

      Enables SSL.

7. Start the CA Connection Broker service from the Windows Service Control Manager.
8. Start the scheduler, application server, and agent services as follows:
   1. Click the Services icon on the toolbar.

      The Services - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears, displaying a list of services installed on the selected instance.

   2. Right-click the scheduler and select Start. Repeat this action for the application server and agent.

      The scheduler, application server, and agent start.

   The SSA port is configured.
