Change URL and port for the Process Intelligence website

The port number used by the Process website is specified during the Process Intelligence installation. By default, the TCP/IP port 80 or 443 is used. You can change the port number later using the TimelinePI.xml configuration file:

  1. Go to the computer on which Process Intelligence is installed.

    To perform all steps below, you must be a system administrator of the computer.

  2. Stop the timelinepi service using the Services snap-in or open Command Prompt as administrator and use:
    sc stop timelinepi

    To ensure the correct operation of Process Intelligence, you need to stop thetimelinepi service prior to changing the Process Intelligence configuration file.

  3. Open the Command Line and use netstat -a to get a list of ports and choose an available port.

  4. Find the folder where Process Intelligence is installed and open TimelinePI.xml file using text editor.
    By default, the program is installed into C:\Program Files\ABBYY Timeline.

  5. In the TimelinePI.xml configuration file:

    1. Find the line contains PROXY_PORT and change the value.

      e.g.: <envname="PROXY_PORT"value="8080"/>

      If you use HTTPS port, change the value for the PROXY_SSL_PORT option.

      e.g.: <envname="PROXY_SSL_PORT"value="30443"/>

    2. Find the line contains BASE_URL and enter the public IP address of the computer on which the ABBYY Timeline is installed in the value.
      e.g.: <envname="BASE_URL"value="https://mytimeline.com"/>
      or
      <envname="BASE_URL"value="http://mytimeline.com"/>

  6. Save the TimelinePI.xml file.

  7. Start thetimelinepi service using Services snap-in or run Command Prompt as administrator and use:
    sc start timelinepi

If you reassign port numbers, you will need to make changes to the appropriate Windows Firewall rules or to the settings of any other firewall that you are using.
