iWay TCP Ports

iWay Service Manager uses two TCP ports for system communication. The following table lists the function and default values of these ports.

During iWay SM installation, you can select values other than the default for either or both of these ports (for security or in case of a port conflict).

Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to change the iWay Service Manager system port assignments after installation is completed. This section describes the procedures to change the Console and SOAP and iBSP port assignments.

How to Change the iWay Service Manager Administration Console Port Assignment

The iWay Service Manager Administration Console port assignment can be modified by accessing the console and navigating to Console Settings.

How to Set Up the SOAP Listener to Follow the ibse-port Special Register

The SOAP listener port is set to the integer value literal entered during iWay Service Manager installation, with the default being 9000. This is not ideal for situations where the SOAP port will be changed after installation, since the ibse-port Special Register and the SOAP port must always be changed in tandem.

1. Access the iWay Service Manager Administration Console.
    
2. Click Registry in the top pane, and then click Listeners in the left pane.

   The Listeners pane opens.

3. Click Add.

   The Select listener type pane opens.

4. Select the SOAP1 listener from the Type drop-down list and click Next.
    
5. In the Port Property Value field, enter SREG(ibse-port).

   The value you are replacing should be an integer port number, its value being 9000 if the default was accepted during installation. Do not change any of the other properties of the SOAP1 listener.

6. Click Finish to save the change. The SOAP port will not change until the ibse-port Special Register is updated (see Set the ibse-port Special Register) and iWay Service Manager is restarted.

   Note: You only need to add the ibse-port Special Register in the SOAP1 Listener Port field once. After this has been set up, future changes to the ibse-port Special Register will automatically update the iWay Service Manager SOAP port.

How to Set the ibse-port Special Register

Once you have successfully completed setting up the SOAP listener value to follow that of the ibse-port Special Register, changing the ibse-port register will automatically change the iWay Service Manager SOAP listener port, as well.

1. Navigate to the iWay Service Manager home page by clicking the Server menu link in the upper-left corner.
    
2. Select the server configuration you want to change from the Managed Server drop-down list. In most cases, this will be the single, master configured server named base.

   The console refreshes with the General Properties of the selected server.

3. In the left pane, select Register Settings.

   A list of special registers appears in the right pane.

4. Click on the link for ibse-port to display its Special Register Definition information.
    
5. In the Value field, enter a new value for the ibse-port register.

   Note: This value must be an integer, within the range of valid port numbers, and currently not used by any other process on the machine. If necessary, contact your system administrator for assistance in choosing an available TCP port.

6. Click Update to accept the change.

   The Register Settings page is displayed so you can confirm the new ibse-port value.

   As with all iWay Service Manager Special Register settings, you must restart the server for the new ibse-port setting to take effect.

7. To restart the server, click Restart in the upper-right of the console.

   The following message appears in your browser:

   Server's master configuration is restarting...

   When restart is complete, the iWay Service Manager Administration Console home page appears.
