Change Server Port in OBIEE 11g

It is not unusual to find that default ports in software applications are already used or blocked in the firewall. OBIEE 11g ports are not an exception.

Knowing this, WebLogic (the application server used in OBIEE 11g) allows the administrator to change the port of the WebLogic servers.

This white paper is going to guide you step by step in order to achieve this objective. We are going to change the default port for the WebLogic Managed Server bi_server1 from the original 9704 to 8765 (any other port could be used).

The steps to follow are the following:

  1. Stop the WebLogic Managed Server bi_server1
  2. Change the port number
  3. Start the WebLogic Managed Server bi_server1
  4. Test that everything is running properly (not really a step to apply the change but it’s always good to remind developers of the need of testing any change properly)
