How to change the port number for the NuGenesis SDMS RPC service - WKB77716

OBJECTIVE or GOAL

Configure a NuGenesis SDMS installation to use an alternative port number for the NuGenesis RPC service.

ENVIRONMENT

• NuGenesis 9 SDMS
• NuGenesis 8 SDMS

PROCEDURE

The procedure must be executed on all client and server machines for a given installation. Problems are likely to occur if the RPC service and clients are configured for different ports.

1. Stop the NuGenesis RPC service.
2. Modify the following registry key:
   • NuGenesis 8: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\NuGenesis Technologies Corp.\NuGenesis\8.0\MSLShell
   • NuGenesis 9: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\NuGenesis Technologies Corp.\NuGenesis\MSLShell
     • Name: RPCPortNum
     • Type: REG_DWORD
     • Value: 0x000009c4
3. Set the value of RPCPortNum to the hexadecimal value for the new port number—for example, 0x000009c9 for 2505.
4. Modify the following registry key:
   • NuGenesis 8: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NuGenesis RPC 8.0\Parameters
   • NuGenesis 9: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NuGenesis RPC\Parameters
     • Name: ServicePort
     • Type: REG_DWORD
     • Value: 0x000009c4
5. Set the value of ServicePort to the same value as entered in step 3.
6. Restart the NuGenesis RPC service.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The default port number for the NuGenesis RPC service is 2500. The RPC service will use this port and up to four consecutive ports (2501-2504 by default) for inter-process communication among the service's processes. The most common scenarios for alternative RPC service ports are conflicts with the legacy SDMS installation and conflicts with other systems that happen to use port 2500.
