G Managing Oracle Database Port Numbers

This appendix lists the default port numbers and describes how to change the assigned port after installation. It contains the following topics:

G.1 About Managing Ports

During installation, Oracle Universal Installer assigns port numbers to components from a set of default port numbers. Many Oracle Database components and services use ports. As an administrator, it is important to know the port numbers used by these services, and to make sure that the same port number is not used by two services on your host.

Most port numbers are assigned during installation. Every component and service has an allotted port range, which is the set of port numbers Oracle Database attempts to use when assigning a port. Oracle Database starts with the lowest number in the range and performs the following checks:

If the answer to any of the preceding questions is yes, then Oracle Database moves to the next highest port in the allotted port range and continues checking until it finds a free port.

G.2 Viewing Port Numbers and Access URLS

In most cases, the Oracle Database component's port number is listed in the tool used to configure the port. In addition, ports for some Oracle Database applications are listed in the portlist.ini file. This file is located in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/install.

If you change a port number, it is not updated in the portlist.ini file, so you can only rely on this file immediately after installation. To find or change a port number, use the methods described in this appendix.

G.3 Port Numbers and Protocols of Oracle Components

The following table lists the port numbers and protocols used by components that are configured during the installation. By default, the first port in the range is assigned to the component, if it is available.

G.4 Changing the Oracle Enterprise Management Agent Port

To find the current setting for the Oracle Management agent port, search for EMD_URL in the ORACLE_BASE/ORACLE_HOME/host_sid/sysman/config/emd.properties file.

To change the Oracle Management Agent HTTP port, use the emca -reconfig ports command:

emca -reconfig ports -AGENT_PORT 1831

G.5 Changing the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Console Ports

To find the current HTTP, RMI, and JMS port settings, search in the following files:

To change the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Console ports, use the emca -reconfig ports command:

ORACLE_BASE/ORACLE_HOME/bin> emca -reconfig ports option setting

where option can be:

You can enter multiple -reconfig port settings in one line, for example:

emca -reconfig ports -DBCONTROL_HTTP_PORT 1820 -AGENT_PORT 1821 -RMI_PORT 5520

G.6 Changing the iSQL*Plus Ports

The following sections describe how to change the iSQL*Plus ports.

Changing the HTTP Port

To change the HTTP port, edit the following files:

Changing the RMI Port

To change the RMI port, modify the port attribute of the rmi-server element in the ORACLE_BASE/ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/isqlplus/config/rmi.xml file:

<rmi-server port="5580"...>

Changing the JMS Port

To change the JMS port, modify the port attribute of the jms-server element in the ORACLE_BASE/ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/isqlplus/config/jms.xml file:

<jms-server port="5600"...>

G.7 Changing the Oracle Ultra Search Ports

The following sections describe how to change the Oracle Ultra Search Ports.

Changing the HTTP Port

To change the HTTP port, modify the port attribute of the web-site element in the $ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_SEARCH/config/http-web-site.xml file:

<web-site port="5620"...>

Changing the RMI Port

To change the RMI port, modify the port attribute of the rmi-server element in the $ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_SEARCH/config/rmi.xml file:

<rmi-server port="5640"...>

Changing the JMS Port

To change the JMS port, modify the port attribute of the jms-server element in the $ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_SEARCH/config/jms.xml file:

<jms-server port="5660"...>

G.8 Changing the Oracle XML DB Ports

To change the Oracle XML FTP and HTTP ports, you need to run the catxdbdbca.sql script, which in a default installation is located in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin.

To change the Oracle XML DB ports:

  1. Check that the Oracle listener is running. To do so, in the Windows Services utility, make sure that the Oracle TNS Listener service (for example, OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener) is set to Started.

    If you cannot start the listener, then refer to Oracle Database Net Services Administrator's Guide.

  2. log in to SQL*Plus or iSQL*Plus as SYS or XDB using the SYSDBA role.

    For example, to log in to SQL*Plus as SYS using the password welcome:

    SQL> sqlplus sys/welcome as sysdba
    
    
  3. Run the catxdbdbca.sql script.

    For example, to use 2200 for the FTP port and 8200 for the HTTP port, and assuming your Oracle home is in the following location, enter the following command:

    SQL> /oracle/product/10.20.0/db_1/rdbms/admin/catxdbdbca.sql 2200 8200
    
    
  4. Exit SQL*Plus or iSQL*Plus.
