How do you change the default port of the Broker Service?

Environment

Resolution

 

The Registry and Broker should be running on the same machine.

1. Stop all the DevTest services.
   
   
2. Clear the 'lisatmp' directory
   
   
3. Clear the cached files in the vsBuilderSessions directory, the vseRecording directory, and the vseDeploy directory
   
   
4. Open the DevTest_Home\bin\BrokerService.vmoptions file and add the following:
     -Dlisa.pathfinder.broker.port=<NewPort>
   
   
5. Save the changes to the BrokerService.vmoptions file
   
   
6. Open the DevTest_Home\local.properties file and add the following:
     lisa.pathfinder.broker.port=<NewPort>
   
   
7. Save the changes to the local.properties file
   
   
8. Open the DevTest_Home\rules.xml file
   
   
9. Locate:
   <console>
         <property comment="Broker url when run in embedded mode (i.e. in LW)" key="lisa.console.agent.broker.url" value="tcp://localhost:2009?daemon=true"/>
   </console>
   
   
10. Change to:
    <console>
          <property comment="Broker url when run in embedded mode (i.e. in LW)" key="lisa.console.agent.broker.url" value="tcp://localhost:<NewPort>?daemon=true"/>
    </console>
    
    
11. Save the changes to the rules.xml file
    
    
12. Restart the DevTest services 

Note: Where <NewPort> is the port number you wish to change the Broker Service to listen on.
