Using the "Profile Port Checker" to find potential port conflicts with WebSphere Application Server servers

Resolving The Problem

1. Place the profilePortChecker.jar and the run_profilePortChecker.[sh|bat] utility in the following directory:
   
   

install_root\bin

2. Run the run_portfilePortChecker.[sh|bat] script from the command line.
   
   Usage:
   
   

run_profilePortChecker.sh [-l] [[-html || [-csv]] or run_profilePortChecker.sh [-c] [-html] or run_profilePortChecker.sh [-cd  "/profileName/config"] [-d output_path] [-html] or run_profilePortChecker.sh [-f  "/path/collector.jar"] [-d output_path] [-html]

Examples:

./run_profilePortChecker.sh -f "/tmp/collector.jar" -html run_profilePortChecker.bat -f "C:\tmp\collector.jar" -html

Parameters:

Local system: -l List all the ports for each server for each profile found on current System -c  Same as "-l", plus report any duplicate port settings amongst the servers -cd Same as "-c" but starts scan at the "*/profile/<profileName>/config" dir -cd Also works for ISALite collections. Starts scan at the "*/<profileName>" dir Jar/zip file: -f "path to collector.jar", same as "-c" but searches the jar rather than system Output: -d Directory path to the location where the output file to be written -csv Output data in comma separated value format. (CSV) -html Output data in html format Default is to use text format in a log file

3. The profilePortChecker utility will scan the serverindex.xml files, either on your host server, in the Collector tool, or in the IBM Support Assistant Lite (ISA Lite) script collection jar. It will then produce a .log or .html report with the list of all server ports. If you are using -c or -f, the report will also include any potential port conflicts found on the "local" server.
   
   
4. Use the results of this report to make any port setting changes required to prevent port conflicts. Changes can be made through the administrative console or through wsadmin commands. See the Information center for your version for additional information on setting server ports.
