Web Application Port compatibility with ALBPM 5.7

By default, ALBPM Studio 6.0 uses port 8585 for Web Applications such as WorkSpace, while on Enterprise port 8686 is used, to avoid conflict. This means you can run Studio and Enterprise on the same machine at the same time with the default configuration.

However, In ALBPM 5.7, both Studio and Enterprise use port 8585. So if you are running Studio 6.0 and Studio or Enterprise 5.7, a conflict will result. To avoid this situation, do the following:


  1. In Studio, in the Project Navigator, right-click on the project you will run and select Engine Preferences ( ) from the context menu.
  2. In the Category list, select Engine.
  3. In the General tab of the Engine properties, set the port in the Classic WorkSpace Port field. Make sure the value does not conflict with other service ports in your system.
  4. You must do this for each project you will run from Studio. Alternatively, you can change the ports in the ALBPM 5.7 component you are running.
Note: A port value between 8585 and 8599, such as 8586, will usually work. The port numbers page at the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority Web site lists commonly used port numbers you should avoid. You can also avoid ports being used in your system by listing them at the command line. Use netstat -a under Windows and netstat -l under Linux.
