What to do if you don't know the WebSphere Portal server ports?

  • 04 Dec, 2015

If you are not sure what your port number is, use the list-server-ports command to determine the port number. Change to the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine/log. Run the list-server-ports task to generate the WebSphere_Portal_PortMatrix.txt file. For example: ./ConfigEngine.sh list-server-ports -DWasPassword=password.

Change to the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/cw_profile/ConfigEngine. Run the list-server-ports task to generate the server1_PortMatrix.txt file. For example: ./ConfigEngine.sh list-server-ports -DWasPassword=password.

Bellow the content of PortalMatrix.txt file

Ports for WebSphere_Portal : WC_defaulthost=10039 WC_adminhost=10038 WC_defaulthost_secure=10042 WC_adminhost_secure=10041 BOOTSTRAP_ADDRESS=10032 SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS=10033

During the configuration process, you might need to following URLs to access different administration user interfaces.

Use the following default URLs to access IBM® WebSphere Portal V8.5,  the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console, and the Configuration Wizard:

WebSphere Portal V8.5 and Oracle Data Guard

  • 29 Jun, 2017

From IBM L3 support: "WebSphere Portal does not explicitly claim support for Oracle Data Guard. It is our understanding that Oracle Data Guard is an extension of the Oracle Database product. We do support the Oracle Database as isted in our "Supported software" documentation. Unless Oracle Data Guard limits functionality or impacts the behavior of the Oracle Database product in an intransparent manner or requires changes to the Portal database object definitions, we do not see a reason why WebSphere Portal would not work in that setup. In other words: If the database system, that is used by the customer, behaves like a regular Oracle Database, it should work. In case an issue is observed, w
