The port validator tool verifies your WebSphere® Application Server configuration to ensure that you do not have port conflicts between WebSphere Application Server profiles and products.
The port validator tool is one of the tools available with the servicetools script.
servicetools [ parameters ] -portconflict [ -products product_list ] [ -ports port_list ] [ -comparetoproduct compare_prod ] [ -comparetoprofile compare_inst ][ -xmloutput output_file ]
The servicetools parameters must be specified before the -portconflict parameter.
The port validator tool uses the -products and -profiles parameters to determine the set of ports that it checks for conflicts. The tool generates a default set of ports that includes the ports used by the specified products and profiles. If you do not specify this parameter, the port validator tool checks for port conflicts in the products specified by the servicetools -products parameter.
If you specify this parameter and the -products parameter for servicetools, the port validator tool checks only the products that you specify for the -portconflict -products parameter. You must specify the -product parameter for either the servicetools script or the port validator tool, or both.
You can specify individual ports, or port blocks. Separate ports or port blocks with a colon (:). For example, to check for conflicts on ports 6680, 7600-7610, and 13320, include specify this parameter: -ports 6680:7600-7610:13320 If you do not specify this parameter, the port validator tool uses the values specified by the -products, -profiles, -comparetoproduct, and -comparetoprofile parameters to check for conflicts. You cannot specify the -ports parameter with the -comparetoproduct parameter or with the -comparetoprofile parameter.
You cannot specify the -comparetoproduct parameter with the -ports parameter.
You cannot specify the -comparetoprofile parameter with the -ports parameter.
