Description
Cause
Resolution

Note: The Application Server Port = Socket in the Application Server Configuration. The default port is 10000. Valid ports range from 9000-10000.

On the Sage 100 Advanced or Premium Server

  1. Have all users exit Sage 100
  2. Stop the Application Server Service or Application
  3. At the server where Sage 100 is installed, open Application Server Configuration
  4. Select Server tab
  5. Change the Socket to the desired port (socket) number
  6. Click Apply

NOTE:

If the port number is changed and the Application Server is being run as a Service, the service must be uninstalled and reinstalled to use the new port.
Run the Uninstall Application Server Service and Application Server Services setup from the server. For more information, see the Related Solutions section.

 For All Workstation Clients

Do either of the following:

  • Uninstall and then reinstall Workstation Setup, making sure to enter the new port number when prompted
  • Modify the Sage 100 shortcut icon's properties and the SOTA.INI file
    1. Right-click and select Properties on the Sage 100 workstation client icon.
    2. Change the port in the Target and click Apply. (It should be listed after the Server Name or IP address).
      • Example: "C:\Sage\Sage 100 Workstation\MAS90\Home\pvxwin32.exe ../launcher/sota.ini *Client -ARG "servername" "10000" "Sage 100"
    3. Click Open File Location. This will open Windows Explorer in the Home folder where the client installation is located.
    4. Browse back one folder to locate the Launcher folder.
    5. Open Sota.ini.
    6. Locate [Servers] section, which is near the bottom.
    7. Change the port that is listed just after the Server Name or IP Address.
      • Example: 1=servername;10000;APS=SAGE;APPLICATION=Sage 100;Path="..\MAS90\"
    8. Save the file and close.
