How to Enable Changing the Default Port Number for Call Home

The Universal Discovery Agent Call Home feature uses the default port number 80 for communicating with the Data Flow Probe. However, in some organizations, port 80 might be blocked internally for security reasons.

This task describes how to enable changing the default port number for the Call Home feature to any other available port number.

  1. Configure the DataFlowProbe.properties file

    1. On the Data Flow Probe, locate the DataFlowProbe.properties and DataFlowProbeOverride.properties files in the C:\UCMDB\DataFlowProbe\conf folder and open them using a text editor.

    2. Locate the following line in DataFlowProbe.properties and copy it to DataFlowProbeOverride.properties (if does not exist):

      appilog.agent.callhome.port = 80
    3. Change the port number value in DataFlowProbeOverride.properties to any other available port number.
    4. Save the file.
    5. Restart the Data Flow Probe.

    Note Starting with version 10.31, if you want to edit or update the properties in the DataFlowProbe.properties file, we highly recommend you to open the DataFlowProbeOverride.properties file in a text editor instead and add the updated properties into it. Otherwise your changes will be overridden by the settings (if exist) in DataFlowProbeOverride.properties after you restart the Probe, as the probe always loads the DataFlowProbeOverride.properties file first at probe startup, and then the OOTB DataFlowProbe.properties file.

  2. Update the new port number on the Universal Discovery Agent Deployment page

    1. Log in to the UCMDB Server, and go to Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Zone-Based Discovery.
    2. From the navigation tree, select an existing Infrastructure Discovery activity and click Edit or create a new Infrastructure Discovery activity.
    3. In the New/Edit Infrastructure Discovery Activity dialog, go to the Universal Discovery Agent Deployment page.
    4. In the Primary Call Home Probe Address or Secondary Call Home Probe Address field, update the port number with the new value you just specified in step 1.
    5. Click Finish.
