Analytics on port 80 - Changing the listen port

By default OBIEE installs on port numbers 7001 for the console and enterprise manager, and then depending on your install option, Simple install is also on port 7001 and the enterprise install defaults the (for those of us from OBIEE 10 days) 9704.

It is however possible to change the listen port after install, now I wouldn't recommend doing this if you've done a simple install, you start to find that you end up chasing down endless changes just to get things working seamlessly.

Your best option is to go for a fresh install and choose enterprise (not simple) as your install option. A few screens further in you get the chance to customise your install ports or accept the default.

Pause here and search for a file in the install media called staticports.ini, this is the template file for port configuration. An example follows:

[WEBLOGIC]
 
#The Domain port no. This is the listen port of Weblogic Adminserver for the domain.
Domain Port No = 7001
 
#The "content" port for the BIEE apps. This is the Weblogic Managed Server port on which BIEE applications are deployed.
Oracle WLS BIEE Managed Server Port No = 9704
 
#The SSL port for the Weblogic Managed Server
Oracle WLS BIEE Managed Server SSL Port No = 9804
 
[OPMN]
 
#Process Manager Local port no
Oracle Process Manager Local Port No = 6700
 
#Process Manager Remote port no
Oracle Process Manager Remote Port No = 6701
 
#Process Manager Request port no
Oracle Process Manager Request Port No = 6702
 
[BIFOUNDATION]
 
#The listen port for OracleBIServer component 
Oracle BI Server Port No = 9703
 
#The monitor port for OracleBIServer component 
Oracle BI Server Monitor Port No = 9701
 
#The listen port for OracleBIPresentationServices component 
Oracle BI Presentation Services Port No = 9710
 
#The listen port for OracleBIScheduler component 
Oracle BI Scheduler Port No = 9705
 
#The monitor port for OracleBIScheduler component 
Oracle BI Scheduler Monitor Port No = 9708
 
#The script RPC port for OracleBIScheduler component 
Oracle BI Scheduler Script RPC Port No = 9707
 
#The listen port for OracleBIClusterController component 
Oracle BI ClusterController Port No = 9706
 
#The monitor port for OracleBIClusterController component 
Oracle BI ClusterController Monitor Port No = 9700
 
#The listen port for OracleBIJavaHost component
Oracle BI JavaHost Port No = 9810
 
[ESSBASE]
 
#The listen port for Essbase Agent
#Essbase Agent Port No = 1423
 
#The listen port for Essbase Studio
#Essbase Studio Port No = 5300

You would change the port configuration for analytics from 9704 to 80, then save the file somewhere you can browse to.

When your install is done analytics will be on http://myserver/analytics, and the console and enterprise manager are on port 7001.
