Changing the Default Service Port using machine.config

This procedure requires administrator access.

The default port for the event monitor and listener WCF services is 9186. Add a configuration section to the .NET Framework system-wide configuration file machine.config to change this default port .

Use this procedure if port 9186 is already in use on your system.

1. Close all Enterprise Server for .NET components, services, and the user interface.
2. Make a backup copy of the machine.config file.

   The file is in %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\Config, where version is the .NET Framework version used by Enterprise Server for .NET. Use the file in Framework with a 32-bit version of Windows, and in Framework64 with a 64-bit version Windows.

3. Open machine.config for editing.
4. If the MicroFocus.SEE section is not defined in the file, add a <section> element to the configSections section as follows:

   <!-- Added for Micro Focus SEE for .NET -->
   <section name="MicroFocus.SEE"
      type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, System.Configuration, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
     restartOnExternalChanges="false"
     requirePermission="false"/>
   

5. At the end of the file, just before the </configuration> closing tag, add the MicroFocus.SEE section with the Default.port setting:

      <!-- Added for Micro Focus SEE for .NET -->
      <MicroFocus.SEE>
         <add key="Default.port" value="9186"/>
      </MicroFocus.SEE>

6. In that section, change 9186 to the port used for self-hosted services.
7. Save the file and restart all processes.
