If any service, such as an application server, on the workbench
computer uses the default port numbers, you can change the port numbers
so that agents can communicate through the new port numbers.
About this task
By default, the port numbers for unsecured and secured ports
are 7080 and 7443. The
IBM® Rational® Performance Tester agents
poll the workbench using the non-secure port number. If you want to
encrypt the communication between the workbench and agents, select
Workbench
and agent communication is encrypted using TLS/SSL.
Rational Performance Tester then
uses the secure port number for communicating with agents. The workbench
internally sends the secure port number to the agents via messages
exchanged over the non-secure port number.
Note: - If you change the non-secure port number, you must configure the
agents to poll the new port number. In the Rational Performance Tester computer,
open the majordomo.config file located at installationDir/Majordomo and
update the port number.
- If two instances of a workbench are opened on one computer, first
workbench gets access to port 7080 to communicate to an agent. For
the another workbench to access the agent, you must use a different
port number.
Procedure
- In Rational Performance Tester,
click .
- Specify the new port numbers and click OK.
What to do next
You must now update the
majordomo.config file
for the agents to poll the new port numbers.
