BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide
Configuring the BusinessObjects Enterprise servers
The procedure for configuring the BusinessObjects Enterprise servers varies for Windows and UNIX. See:
To configure BusinessObjects Enterprise servers on Windows
- Start the CCM.
- Stop the first server.
On the toolbar, click Properties.- In the Command box, add the following option:
-requestport portnum
For the -requestport command, substitute any valid free port number for portnum. If more than one server is installed on the same machine, each server on that machine must use a unique port number.
Tip: If you want to customize the CMS so that it listens on a port other than the default, also add -port cmsport to the command line, where cmsport is the new port number for the default value of 6400. For example:
-port cmsport -requestport portnum
If you change the default port number of the CMS you must perform additional system configuration. Before changing the port number, see "Changing the default server port numbers" on page 139.
- Click OK to return to the CCM.
- Start the server.
- Repeat for each BusinessObjects Enterprise server behind the firewall.
To configure BusinessObjects Enterprise servers on UNIX
- Run
ccm.sh.
By default the script and the ccm.config file are installed in the BusinessObjects install directory, for example /export/home/businessobjects.
- Stop the server.
- Edit the
ccm.config file to insert the following command line:
-requestport portnum
For the -requestport command, substitute any valid free port number for portnum. If more than one server is installed on the same machine, each server on that machine must use a unique port number.
Tip: If you want to customize the CMS so that it listens on a port other than the default, also add -port 6400 to the command line, substituting your new port number for the default value of 6400.
If you change the default port number of the CMS you must perform additional system configuration. Before changing the port number, see "Changing the default server port numbers" on page 139.
- Use
ccm.sh to start the server.
- Repeat for each BusinessObjects Enterprise server.
