Connecting to Nondefault Agent Ports

You can change the default port used by the Essbase Agent. You may want to change the default if, for example, the default value is inappropriate for your site because it specifies a port number already in use or if you want to install a second Agent on a single computer to facilitate testing. For more information about specifying nondefault port values, see the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.

If you change the default Agent port, you can specify that port when you define Essbase connection information in the User Setup Wizard or the Administration Server User Properties window (Essbase Servers tab). In either location, you can append the port number to the server machine name, as follows:

ServerMachineName:Port#

For example:

jdoe2:4378

Note:

For information about partitioning and non-default Agent port requirements, see Repairing Partitions.
