Modify Local Agent Port Settings

You can modify the local agent port settings. The Local Agent Port Settings pane on the Agent - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window lists the communication ports that are used by the local agent for sending and receiving data.

You might want to configure the local agent to listen on a different port in the following situations:

• The default local agent port (7520) is in use by another CA Technologies product and you want that product to continue using that port.
• You want the local agent to communicate with SSA sockets instead of plain sockets.
• You installed multiple agents on the same computer and one of the agents is already using the default agent port.

Follow these steps:

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

   The Instance - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window opens.

2. Click the Services icon on the toolbar.

   The Services - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window appears.
