WebSphere App Server - Updating ports in existing profiles

Step 1: Make sure your profile "Servers" and "Nodeagent" is stopped.

Step 2: Remove the federated node from the "dmgr" (deployment manager ) console.

                Command:  ./removeNode.sh

Step 3: Create a two files on /temp directive,
               

•  appserver.props
•  portdefs.AppSrv02.props

Where,

           appserver.props contains profiles details.

           portdefs.AppSrv02.props contains the new ports, which needs to be update.

Step 4: Take backup of existing “portdef.props” file OR backup entire profile.

Step 5: Edit file “portdefs.AppSrv02.props” and paste the existing “portdef.props “ with updated  ports properties

Step 6: Edit file "appserver.props", provide the existing profile details & "location of  new ports file".

Screenshot: "appserver.props"

Step 7: Navigate to $WAS_HOME/bin & use below command.

./ws_ant.sh  -propertyfile  /tmp/was_props/appserver.props 

-file  /IBMWAS/IBM/profileTemplates/default/actions/updatePorts.ant

Where,

           ./ws_ant.sh is for WebSphere ant script.

           - propertyfile is a location of newly  created appserver.props  file.

            -file is a location for the existing type of profiles you were using.
