Defining the DSN and Port Number

The *.profile file needs to be updated with the correct DSN (database name) and port number so that the Trapeze6 Service Shell can connect to the database and to allow users to connect to the module.

Procedure

  1. Go to the <path>\Config folder and open localhost.profile.
    The file opens as a text file.
  2. Look for the TrapezeCity database name.
    The name depends on the application you are running:
    <database name="Primary" dsn="TrapezeCity" .../>
  3. Change this database name to the database name defined in the ODBC entry.

    For consistency, Trapeze recommends that you use the same name for the ODBC data source.

  4. Optional: Change the port number by scrolling to the bottom of the file and looking for the following line:

    <server id="Primary" port="80"/>

    If you want to change the port number, Trapeze recommends that you consult a Trapeze Customer Care representative about the port to use. The port must not by in use by other service on the server.

    Tip:
    To view a list of open ports on the system, run netstat -a from a command prompt window.
  5. Click File > Save.
  6. Optional: Rename the file to TripBroker.profile to easily identify the service or application that the Trapeze6 Service Shell is running.
  7. Close the file.
