Products

• SystemEDGE Agent
• SystemEDGE Agent

Issue/Introduction

We would like to change the port that SystemEDGE was originally installed with to a different port without uninstalling/reinstalling the agent.

Environment

SystemEDGE 6.x

Resolution

Windows:

1. Stop the CA SystemEDGE Service (From services.msc OR net stop sysedge)
   
   
2. Delete port# folder from 
   
   

   C:\Users\Public\CA\SystemEDGE\port#
   
   
   

3. Edit X:\Program Files\CA\SystemEDGE\config\sysedge.cf by changing default_port value to the new desired port#. For Example:
   
   

   default_port 1691
   
   
   

4. In regedit, change the port number contained within the following value:
   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\SystemEDGE\DefaultPort
   
   Be sure to select "Decimal" from within regedit:
   
   
   
   

5. Start the CA SystemEDGE Service (From services.msc OR net start sysedge)
   
   

6. A new port# folder will be created that reflects new listening port in the locations noted above.

 

UNIX/Linux:

1. Stop CA SystemEDGE: /opt/CA/SystemEDGE/bin/sysedgectl stop


2. Delete port# folder from /opt/CA/SystemEDGE/config/port#


3. Edit /opt/CA/SystemEDGE/config/sysedge.cf by changing default_port value to the new desired port#:
   
   sed -i s/1691/161/ /opt/CA/SystemEDGE/config/sysedge.cf

Where 1691 is the original port and 161 is the desired new port.
   
   
   
4. Edit /opt/CA/SystemEDGE/bin/sysedgectl to change the DEFAULT_PORT value to the new desired port#
   
   sed -i s/1691/161/ /opt/CA/SystemEDGE/bin/sysedgectl

Where 1691 is the original port and 161 is the desired new port.
   
   
   
5. Start SystemEDGE: /opt/CA/SystemEDGE/bin/sysedgectl start


6. A new port# folder will be created that reflects new listening port in the locations noted above.

Additional Information

* File locations noted are the defaults. File locations may differ slightly based on configuration

* For UNIX/Linux, the "sed" syntax for replacing the port number is as follows: "sed -i s/{OLD PORT}/{DESIRED PORT}/ {FILE}" - be sure to replace {OLD PORT}, {DESIRED PORT} and {FILE} accordingly.
