Port number for ReportClientDocument

Question

Hi
While specifying the report app server in ReportClientDocument we specify only the host name/ip. We do not specify the port. Which is the port that is being used to connect and establish the link to the RAS ?
Eg: We only do
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc .setReportAppServer("192.168.100.101");
So how can we specify the port ? It works without specifying (by taking a default), but I would like to know if there is a way to find which is the port and if we can override it ?
Thanks

You're using "Unmanaged Reporting" using the Report Application Server (RAS).
The listener port number is specified on the RAS server via the command-line option -ipport <port>, i.e., to specify the port number 2340, stop the RAS server using the CCM and add the following to the command-line:
-ipport 2340
Then in code you'd specify the port via the URI:
reportClientDoc .setReportAppServer("myhostname:2340");
For XI Release 2 and previous on Microsoft Windows installations, both the RAS server and the SDK uses default port 1566.  However, this is not so for Unix installations, or for both Windows and Unix installations with XI 3.0 and above, so the recommendation is to explicitly specify the -ipport and specify the port in code.
