Changing the port used for context-sensitive help in the WebSphere Commerce tools

If you want to use a port other than 8001 for the help server, review these instructions to successfully change the port within the Configuration Manager.

Before you begin

Start the IBM Knowledge Center by using the startKC command and specify a port number other than 8001. For more information, see Starting and stopping the local IBM Knowledge Center.
Note: Remember the port number. You need to specify the port number in the Configuration Manager.

About this task

WebSphere Commerce DeveloperImportant: This topic does not apply to IBM WebSphere Commerce Developer. You must set the port for the IBM Knowledge Center to 8001 in for context-sensitive help to work in the WebSphere Commerce tools when running a WebSphere Commerce test environment.

If you specify a port other than 8001 for the IBM Knowledge Center, you must change the port that is used for context-sensitive help in the WebSphere Commerce tools in Configuration Manager. If the port used for context-sensitive help in the WebSphere Commerce tools does not match the port number on which you started the IBM Knowledge Center, you will not be able to access context-sensitive help in the WebSphere Commerce tools, such as the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
