How to change ports in OBIEE 11G

Stop all OBIEE services



Edit the config.xm File





FMW_HOME/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/config/config.xml



Note: Backup the file before editing.



The default Admin Server port is 7001 and is not present in the file. But if we need to change it then simply add the listen-port tag under machine tag.



8005



Example:





AdminServer

1000

200000

20

21



AdminServer

true



true

500

true

8002

true

disclosure

{AES}KSbntba0UEOz4=

true

BuiltinSSLValidationOnly

BuiltinSSLValidationOnly

false

false

false

FQDN

8005

true











Similarly we can change the bi_server related ports



bi_server1



bi_server1

true



true

500

true

8004

true

disclosure



true

BuiltinSSLValidationOnly

BuiltinSSLValidationOnly

false

false

false



FQDN

8003

true

bi_cluster



javac



bi_server1



Update BI Server Config File



FMW_HOME/instances/instance1/config/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obis1/NQSConfig.INI

Note: backup file before editing.



FMW_SECURITY_SERVICE_URL = "http://192.1.1.1:8003";  Corresponds to non-ssl port of bi_server

FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS = YES;  Change from NO to YES



Start the OBIEE services and revert back the

FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS = NO;



The other method is to do the change via Weblogic Console GUI. But if you need to change the default admin port it’s better to do the changes directly in the files stated above.
