Configuring port assignments

Administrators can change some of the default IEE port assignments in the system settings. Other port settings are fixed and cannot be changed.

Oracle Data Source

The IEE rich client and Oracle Listener communicate through this port.
  1. Open the IEE Bootstrap Configuration Tool.
  2. View the Connection Profile in Field Format.
  3. In the Port box, enter the new port number.

SQL Data Source

The IEE rich client and SQL server communicate through this port.

  1. Open the IEE Bootstrap Configuration Tool.
  2. In Data Source, replace the database instance name or current port number with the new port number. The correct syntax is SERVERNAME\instancename or SERVERNAME,port.

    For example, the following sample connection string defines port 9999 on the database server IEE DB:

    Data Source=IEEDB,9999

    If you use the instance name instead of a port number, IEE uses the port that was defined when the instance was created. Each instance of SQL must have a unique port.
