F Using the Staticports.ini File

This appendix covers the following:

• Formats for the Staticports.ini File

• Causes for the Installer to Use Default Ports

Formats for the Staticports.ini File

The staticports.ini file has the following format. Replace port num with the port number that you want to use for the component.

# Enterprise Manager#Enterprise Manager Central Agent Port=port_num#Enterprise Manager Central Console Port=port_num#Enterprise Manager Central Console Secure Port=port_num# J2EE and Web Cache#Oracle HTTP Server Listen port=port_num#Oracle HTTP Server Listen (SSL) port=port_num#Oracle HTTP Server Diagnostic port=port_num#Web Cache HTTP Listen port=port_num#Web Cache HTTP Listen (SSL) port=port_num#Web Cache Administration port=port_num#Web Cache Invalidation port=port_num#Web Cache Statistics port=port_num#Oracle Notification Server Request port=port_num#Oracle Notification Server Local port=port_num#Oracle Notification Server Remote port=port_num#Application Server Control port=port_num#Application Server Control RMI port=port_num#Oracle Management Agent port=port_num#Log Loader port=port_num

Note:

After having specified appropriate port values, ensure you remove the comment (#) for those properties before saving the file. The values are not considered otherwise.

Causes for the Installer to Use Default Ports

Check your staticports.ini file carefully, because a mistake can cause the installer to use default ports without displaying any warning. Here are some things that you should check:

• If a port is already being used by a component or any other application, do not specify that port (used port) in the staticports.ini file.

  Note:

  If you specify a port that is already in use, the related configuration assistant will also fail.

• If you have specified the same port for more that one component, the installation will display an error after the prerequisite checks phase. You must rectify this error before proceeding with the installation.

• If you have syntax errors in the staticports.ini file (for example, if you omitted the equal (=) character for a line), the installer ignores the line. For the components specified on such lines, the installer assigns the default ports. The installer does not display a warning for lines with syntax errors.

• If you misspell a component name, the installer assigns the default port for the component. Names of components in the file are case-sensitive. The installer does not display a warning for lines with unrecognized names.

• If you specify a nonnumeric value for the port number, the installer ignores the line and assigns the default port number for the component. It does this without displaying any warning.

• If you misspell the parameter on the command line, the installer does not display a warning. It continues and assigns default ports to all components.

• If you specify a relative path to the staticports.ini file (for example, ./staticports.ini) on the command line, the installer does not find the file. The installer continues without displaying a warning and it assigns default ports to all components. You must specify a full path to the staticports.ini file.

• If the parameter you specify on the command line does not match the installation type that you are performing (for example, if you specify the parameter for the middle tier but you are installing the infrastructure), the installer does not give a warning. It continues and assigns default ports to all components.
