Changing the BI Presentation Services Listener Port

The port that BI Presentation Services listens on can be configured in the BI Presentation Services configuration file instanceconfig.xml by creating and setting the RPC/Listener element, as shown in the following procedure.

The BI Presentation Services is configured by setting parameters in the configuration file instanceconfig.xml. The instanceconfig.xml file is located in the following directories:

• Under Windows: OracleBIData_HOME\web\config
• Under Linux or UNIX: OracleBIData_HOME/web/config

To change the Presentation Services listener port

1. Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing.
2. Locate the <WebConfig> element.
3. Within the <WebConfig> tags, create the element <RPC> and assign it the RPC Listener Port value for the BI Presentation Services instance, as shown in the following example.

   <WebConfig>
      <ServerInstance>
      ...
         <RPC>
            <Listener port="9715" />
         </RPC>
      ...
      </ServerInstance>
   </WebConfig>

   NOTE:  In the preceding example, the RPC Listener port for the BI Presentation Services instance has been changed to port 9715 from the default of 9710.

4. Save changes to the file.
