Install Oracle Reports - Force Port Mapping

[chrisplough]

All,

I've run into an issue with a client where every time I installed Oracle Reports, it would use non-standard ports. Instead of binding the default reports port to 7777 or 7778, it would bind to 80, and would be inaccessible (not working) post-installation.

In order to resolve this issue, I had to create a file named staticports.ini and tell the installer to use this file for assigning ports. Before doing this, it's important to test each of these ports and ensure that they aren't already in use, since the installer won't automatically test using this method.

staticports.ini:

;
; purpose: Static Ports for Oracle Reports Installation.  Used to resolve port assignment issues.
; file: staticports.ini
; version 0.1

Oracle HTTP Server port =  7777
Oracle HTTP Server Listen port = 7778
Oracle HTTP Server SSL port = 8250
Oracle HTTP Server Listen (SSL) port = 4444
Java Object Cache port = 7000
Oracle Notification Server Request port = 6003
Oracle Notification Server Local port = 6101
Oracle Notification Server Remote port = 6200
ASG port = 7890
Oracle HTTP Server Diagnostic port = 7200
Log Loader port = 44000
Application Server Control RMI port = 1850
DCM Discovery port = 7100
Oracle Management Agent Port = 1157
Application Server Control port = 1156
Web Cache HTTP Listen port = 7777
Web Cache HTTP Listen (SSL) port = 8250
Web Cache Administration port = 9400
Web Cache Invalidation port = 9401
Web Cache Statistics port = 9402
Reports Services bridge port = 14011
Reports Services discoveryService port = 14021
Reports Services SQL*Net port = 1950

Hope this helps!
