Hyperion Workspace and Shared Services URL without port numbers

When an application is accessible via a network it means that it is using a TCP/IP port. When a port is used by an application, it cannot be used by another one. Even during installation/deployment, we will get an error message stating that a particular port is being used by another application. Therefore, the skill to find out what port is being used by what application comes in very handy.

If you want to find out what is using a specific Port, you can open the COMMAND PROPMT and type in
netstat -aon findstr "6800"

Default port numbers of Hyperion EPM System:
Sr No Name of Service Default Port Number
1 Shared Services 28080
2 Workspace 19000
3 Planning 8300
4 Essbase 13080
5 Essbase Agent 1423
6 HFM 80
7 Weblogic 7001

Recently, I have installed and configured one server environment for Hyperion EPM V11.1.2.1. Shared Services and Workspace URL's were accessible using following two URL's 
http://MyServer:19000/workspace/index.jsp
http://MyServer:28080/interop/index.jsp

But, as per the client's requirement, port numbers were not required while accessing final URL's of Hyperion EPM system.

It is possible if we change default port of accessing URL's to 80. To implement the same, complete following steps:
1- Stop all Oracle/Hyperion services
2- Launch EPM System Configurator
3- Choose to modify existing EPM Oracle Instance
4- On configuration tab, uncheck all actions and only check "configure web server" option found below Hyperion Foundation
5- Choose your web server and specify the new port
6- Keep other selections as defaults and press next
7- Continue until your configuration is completed then press finish
8- Start all Oracle/Hyperion services

Now, my URL's are accessible using following URL's
http://MyServer/workspace/index.jsp
http://MyServer/interop/index.jsp

  1. Hi,

    I am trying to configure OHS to port 80. But it says the port is already in use as IIS is using that port. I can change the port for IIS. But as IIS is required for DRM. I would like not to use the port for DRM as well. So not sure if I can change the port for IIS and configure OHS. Any advice?

    Regards,
    Ragav.

    1. Hi Ragav,
      Port 80 can be used for one service. If you want to configure OHS on 80, you will need to disable IIS on 80.

      Managing DRM will be your call.
