Configuring the Port to Connect to Silk Test Recorder

Before you begin this task, stop the Silk Test Open Agent.

Typically, you do not have to configure port numbers manually. The information service handles port configuration automatically. Use the default port of the information service to connect to the Agent. Then, the information service forwards communication to the port that the Agent uses.

If necessary, change the port number that Silk Test Classic, Silk4J, or Silk4NET uses to connect to Silk Test Recorder.

  1. Navigate to the recorder.properties.sample file and open it. By default, this file is located at: %APPDATA%\Silk\Silk Test\conf, which is typically C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\AppData\Silk\SilkTest\conf where <user name> equals the current user name.
  2. Change the recorder.api.rmi.port to the port that you want to use. Port numbers can be any number from 1 to 65535.
    Note: Each port number must be unique. Ensure that the port numbers for the Agent settings differ from the recorder and the information service port settings.
  3. Save the file as recorder.properties.
  4. Restart the Open Agent, the Silk Test client, and the application that you want to test.
