Listener ports

EAServer includes several preconfigured network listeners for the supported protocols. For new installations, configure the listener ports by setting the parameters listed in Table 3-3. These settings are ignored if you are upgrading an existing installation. You can also configure these settings after the installation completes using EAServer Manager or jagtool as described in the EAServer System Administration Guide.

The installer checks to see if the specified ports are already in use. You can configure the installer to either ignore port conflicts or to scan for free ports. For example, these settings configure the installer to not scan for free ports and to ignore conflicts:

-W PortScan.silentResolvePortConflict=False
-W PortScan.silentIgnorePortConflict=True

To scan for free ports and write the port numbers to the log file eas_install.props, use these settings:

-W InstallLogFilename.value="$W(SilentInstallLocation.value)\EAServer\eas_install.props"
-W PortScan.silentResolvePortConflict=True
-W PortScan.silentIgnorePortConflict=False

These settings create the log file as eas_install.props in the installation location. You can modify the file name and location by editing the value of the -W InstallLogFilename.value parameter.

Table 3-3: Silent installer listener port parameters

Parameter

Specifies

-W InstallLogFilename.value

The name and path of a log file where the listener port numbers are recorded. If you specify automatic detection of free ports, you can read the port numbers from this file after the installation.

-W PortScan.silentResolvePortConflict

Whether to scan for unused ports if a specified port is in use. The installer tries new port numbers by incrementing by 100 between each tested port number, for example, 9000, 9100, 9200, and so forth.

-W PortScan.silentIgnorePortConflict

Whether to allow the installer to continue if a specified port is in use. If you set this parameter to False, the installer fails with an error if a port is in use. If you have enabled port scanning by setting -W PortScan.silentResolvePortConflict to True, the installer scans for free ports before evaluating port conflicts.
