To change the default port values used by the Agent, you must set one or more of these configuration settings:
SERVERPORTBEGIN specifies the first port number the Agent on a computer tries to use for its first server process.
SERVERPORTEND specifies the highest value the Agent tries to use for a port when it tries to start a server process. If the value is unavailable, the server process fails.
PORTINC specifies the value of the increment in between port numbers used by the Agent.
You may want to change the default value. Two possible reasons:
You may want to install a second instance of Essbase Server on a computer to facilitate testing. You can use Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Configurator to assign the second Essbase Server instance to a different port than the first. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
