 Hi All,

I have installed and configured CLM(ccm,qm,RM) 6.0.1 on WAS v8.5.5, I have configured the public URL and completed JTS setup. Before completing JTS setup I changed port number in WAS i.e(WC_defaulthost with port number 80) and WC_defaulthost_secure with port number 443) This helped me in hiding port number in URL.

Now i need to change the port number again to 80, Is it possible to change port number for clm after completing installation and setting up public URL.


Thank you,
Kunal Nigade.

Changing the port number, is like a server rename, since it is a part of the public URI root.
This is the case if the port number is shown, or if it is hidden and is changed and therefor must now be shown or hidden.

 Hi Ralph, Do you mean to say That like once we set Public url it cannot be changed. it can only be changed by renaming server..  Same way once port is configured it cannot be changed...? Thank you, Kunal.

Yes, if something in between the beginning h and the last / of https://myserver.mydomain.com:myport/ changes you need a server rename.

This includes port changes, if the port now surfaces or is removed, this includes protocol changes e.g. from http to https, as far as I know. If the old public URL does not work anymore, it is a server rename.

yes, sadly, there was a bad implementation decision eons ago now to include the URI protocol and location information in the calculation of the unique UUID. the only way to fix that is a server rename, which fixes what it can, and then filters the incoming requests and changes the text to the prior version where necessary. note that you CAN do a second, third, ...nth server rename which stacks these up so EVERYTHING goes thru all the modifications.. (so there is a performance impact for each rename)

Actually, successive server renames just update the URL mapping table, so the performance hit for N server renames is no greater than the performance hit of a single server rename.

I will have to find the info we were provided and was posted here multiple times that said otherwise.

If you can find any postings from an IBM developer that says the performance cost is proportional to the number of renames, please post the URL here, and I will get that post corrected.  Last July, I confirmed with the Jazz developers responsible for that code that there is a cost associated with the first rename, but no increase in cost associated with subsequent renames.

Very few people have the breadth and depth of insight Geoff has, Sam. Unless I absolutely know otherwise, I trust Geoff's assessment here xD
