Define Communication Ports for the Application Server

You can configure the application server to listen on a different virtual port. Both the CA Workload Automation AE application server and the agent require a port to listen to for incoming connections. By default, the CA Workload Automation AE installation configures SSA to recognize virtual port 9000 for the application server. You might want to reconfigure the application server to listen on a different virtual port if another CA Technologies product is using the default virtual port and you want that product to continue using that port.

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 application server and select Stop.

    The application server stops.

  5. Click the Application Server icon on the toolbar.

    The Application Server - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears.

  6. Complete the following fields as appropriate, and click Apply.
    Client Communication Port

    Defines the application server listening port for all SSA communication.

    Default: 9000

    Note: On UNIX, the equivalent configuration parameter is AutoServerPort.

    Auxiliary Listening Port

    Defines the port number the application server uses to listen for inbound AFM protocol data using non-SSA communication.

    Default: 7500

    Notes:

    • The application server auxiliary listening port must be different from the scheduler auxiliary listening port.
    • On UNIX, the equivalent configuration parameter is AppSrvAuxiliaryListeningPort.
  7. 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.

  8. Right-click the application server and select Start.

    The application server starts. The communication ports for the application server are defined.
