Port Number Reference

Change Sybase Unwired Platform component port numbers after installation, if necessary.

Proceed with caution when changing port numbers because the change might impact other configuration files that point to that port. You need to be aware of the default Sybase Control Center port numbers so you do not accidentally use these ports when you change Sybase Unwired Platform ports. You can change some Sybase Control Center default ports, but, in some cases, you should not.

Note: To make Unwired Server port number changes, temporarily stop the other service consuming those ports. Use Sybase Control Center to make the changes, then restart Unwired Server.
Port Description Default Port Instructions for Changing
Data tier (CDB) server Port number for the data tier that manages transactions between the enterprise information system and mobile devices.

5200

Do not change the CDB port.

Management ports IIOP port number on which the Unwired Server listens for Sybase Control Center administration requests.

2000

2001 for secure management ( default)

Default is recommended. No change is required.

Data change notification (DCN) Port number on which Unwired Server listens for DCN events.

8000 for HTTP

8001 for HTTPS

Configure in Sybase Control Center by expanding the Servers > <ServerName> folder and selecting Server Configuration. In the General tab, select the Communication Ports subtab and enter a new DCN port or secure DCN port, as required.

See Security Profiles in in Sybase Control Center online help.

Synchronization

Port numbers on which Unwired Server synchronizes data between the enterprise information system and mobile devices.

Messaging port uses a proprietary encryption method, so communication is always encrypted.

2480 for replication

5001 for messaging

Configure in Sybase Control Center by expanding the Servers > <ServerName> folder and selecting Server Configuration. In the Replication or Messaging tab, select the Synchronization Listener subtab and enter a new synchronization port, as required.

Note: If there is a conflict for port 2480 or 2481, Unwired Server will not start, and yo cannot use Sybase Control Center to modify them. To correct the problem, you must temporarily stop the service that uses the conflicting port, then start Unwired Server.

For replication payloads, see Configuring Replication Properties in Sybase Control Center online help.

For messaging payloads, see Configuring Messaging Properties in in Sybase Control Center online help.

Use the <<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>>\Servers\Messaging Server\Bin\AdminWebServicesTool.exe command line tool to change the messaging service Web service port. This tool has built in online help describing how to use the tool. From the command prompt run:

<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\Messaging Server\Bin>AdminWebServicesTool.exe set=<port> restart

2100 for default JMS messaging service port

3638 for default SCC repository database port

8282, 8283 for default Web container ports

  • 9999 – default RMI agent port. The port is set in:

    <<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>>\SCC-XX\services\RMI\service-config.xml

  • 2100 – default JMS messaging service port. The port is set in:

    <<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>>\SCC-XX\services\Messaging\service-config.xml

  • 3638 – default SCC repository database port. The default port is set in:

    <<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>>\SCC-XX\services\SccSADataserver\service-config.xml

  • 8282, 8283 – default Web container ports. The default ports are set in:

    <<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>>\SCC-XX\services\EmbeddedWebContainer\service-config.xml

Before you make any changes to these files, stop Sybase Control Center X.X service. Start the service after you complete the changes. If any of the subsystems fail to start, check the SCC agent.log for error messages.

Relay server Port numbers on which Relay Server listens for requests.

80 for the HTTP port

443 for the HTTPS port

Change the value for the cluster in Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform. You can then generate the file and transfer it to the corresponding Unwired Server host.

See Sybase Control Center > Configure > Configure Unwired Platform > Clusters >Relay Server.

Unwired Platform reserved Port numbers reserved for internal use by Unwired Platform components

4343

5500

27000

8002

2638

Do not use these special port numbers for any purpose. These ports differ from Windows reserved ports (1-1023).

Note: Even if the installer does not detect a conflict at install time, Windows may later use ports in the 1024-64K range for other purposes. Read Microsoft documentation to determine how to reserve Unwired Platform ports. Otherwise, you may experience intermittent problems when starting up platform services due to Windows using these ports for some other purpose at the same time.
