Configuring the CMS

To configure the CMS on Windows

1. Start the CCM.
2. Stop the Crystal Management Server.
3. On the toolbar, click Properties.
4. In the Command box, add the following option:

   -port FQDN:6400 -requestport portnum

   For the -port command, replace FQDN with the fully qualified domain name of the machine that is running the CMS. This machine must be routable from the application server or WCS.

   For the -requestport command, substitute any valid free port number for portnum.

5. If you want to customize the CMS so that it listens on a port other than the default, substitute your new port number for the default value of 6400.

   Tip:    If you change the default port number of the CMS you must perform additional system configuration. Before changing the port number, see Changing the default server port numbers.

6. Click OK to return to the CCM.
7. Start the Crystal Management Server.

To configure the CMS on UNIX

1. Run ccm.sh.

   By default the script and the ccm.config file are installed in the Crystal install directory, for example /export/home/crystal.

2. Stop the Crystal Management Server.
3. Edit the ccm.config file to insert the following command line:

   -port FQDN:6400 -requestport portnum

   For the -port command, replace FQDN with the fully qualified domain name of the machine that is running the CMS. This machine must be routable from the application server.

   For the -requestport command, substitute any valid free port number for portnum.

4. Use ccm.sh to start the Crystal Management Server.
