Environment

All supported CA Performance Management releases

Resolution

The proper URL using default ports for HTTP is:

http://pcHostname:8181

Alternative:

​
http://pcHostname:8181/pc/desktop/page

The proper URL using default ports for HTTPS is:

https://pcHostname:8182

Alternative:

​https://pcHostname:8182/pc/desktop/page
 

The proper URL for the REST web services is:

<protocol>://pcHostname:<port>/pc/center

For HTTP using default ports it would be:

http://pcHostname:8181/pc/center

For HTTPS using default ports it would be:

https://pcHostname:8182/pc/center

Additional Information

Some environments choose to configure a port for HTTPS access that is not the recommended default of 8182. If this is the case:
A: Contact the administrator of the CA Performance Management system to determine the correct port to use.
B: Open a new case with the CA Support team for assistance validating the port required and it's functionality.

NOTE: The CA Performance Center REST web services require admin user log in. Use the default admin user and it's password to gain access when prompted.
