Configuring the SOAP Communications Port

The Marketing application on Siebel Server communicates with the Email Sending Daemon using the SOAP protocol, which uses HTTP requests. You must configure the Email Sending Daemon to listen for these HTTP requests on a specific port. This task is described in the following procedure.

This task is a step in Process of Configuring the Email Sending Daemon.

To configure the SOAP communications port

1. Consider what port number you want to use to service the SOAP commands (HTTP requests) on the Email Sending Daemon.

   Because this HTTP server does not service standard HTTP requests such as Web pages, any port can be used (even the default of 8090). Write down the port number you decide to use.

2. At the following location, open the server.xml file in a text editor:

   esd_installation_directory\config\server.xml

3. Locate the XML tag Connector by searching for the following phrase:

   Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector

4. Identify the value of the port attribute and, if necessary, change it to the value you chose in Step 1.

   By default this value is 8090.

5. Save the change.

   You need this port number again in a subsequent task.
