Title
How to change the default HTTP server port (HTTPPort) on the Job Server -
Description
After changing the default HTTP server port (HTTPPort) from 1880 to another port number via the JobServiceConfigurator or Designer the Job server status in JobQueueInfo displays: “Unable to connect to the remote server”. -
Cause
The database has not been updated with the correct port number in the QBMServer table. Product Defect, 34045. -
Resolution
Starting with version 8.1 there is a specific event to set the port number of the Job Server.
In Object Browser navigate to QBMServer | Select the Job Server | Expand Events from Actions window | Click SetPort | Enter the port number | Click Generate. E.g.:
This will generate the QBMServer update process to update the port number in the database. Once the process is finished, start/restart the job service. This should generate another event, GETCONFIG. Once finished, the job server should pick up the updated port number. -
