Description

JMX relies on JAVA technology called RMI, which uses dynamic ports to be able to communicate between a client and a server. Firewalls cannot handle dynamic ports, as they need to know the port number. iProcess overcomes this problem by statically assigning a listening port for the RMI server.

To do this you need to configure the %SWDIR%/etc/swjmx.properties file.

Procedure

To configure the swjmxproperties file, complete the following steps:

1. Open the SWDIR/etc/swjmx.properties file. You can see the following lines:

SWJMXConfig.location=C:/swserver/staffw_nod1/etc/swjmx_config.xml

SWJMXConfig.port=10025

2. Change the SWJMXConfig.port property to a port of your choosing.

The RMI server port number will then be automatically set to the value of SWJMXConfig.port +1.

Save the file.
