how to change standard J2EE port 50000 to port 80?

[Former Member]

We have the WAS 6.40 sneak preview installation. We have successfully tested the sample calculator jsp application, but would like to get standard apps running on port 80 for network security reasons. Where in the config do we change it to listen on http port 80 instead of 50000?

And, since this is only a sneak preview app w/J2EE, am I to assume that there is no access to the system via standard SAP GUI for Windows? I haven't seen anything in the documentation about being able to access the system this way.

You can use the Visual Administrator tool to change the ports. You can start the tool by the go.bat file located in C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\admin (the path for a standard installation).

To change the ports, you need to assign new value to the Ports property of the HTTP Provider Service running on the dispatcher node. For more info, have a look at this piece of documentation:

As for accessing the Web AS Java using SAP GUI, the answer is no, you cannot. And this is true not only for the sneak preview.

thanks for the link. I was able to change my web port to 80 with no problems.

as for the accessability - where can I get some good documentation on the UI direction of the WAS 6.40 based applications? As an administrator, I'm more curious how my administrative SAP GUI transactions like SM50, SM37, ST03, etc.(or their counterparts) will be utilized in a web-only system.

The administration tools you have available on Web AS Java are described here:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d7/fdbc3d8af79633e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm

Basically, the Visual Administrator is the tool you can perform online administration tasks with, i.e. retrieve runtime information, monitor system, etc.

As I have zero experince with Web AS ABAP, I know nothing about transactions you mention :-). I made a quick search in docs about SM50 to know it has something to do with monitoring. Well, you can monitor your system and applications using Visual Administrator - see this link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/68/f4bc3deaf28d33e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm

All other administation tasks you can perform on Web AS Java are described in the whole Server Administration chapter at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2b/f3bc3d16f39e33e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm

Hope I got the point of your question and my answer is helpful
