Enable Net​.TCP Port Sharing

Starting with AVEVA Production Management version 9.1, the Port Sharing service setting is enabled by default. So, ensure that Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service is enabled and running in the Services window before you start AVEVA Production Management.

Follow these steps only if you are using a version earlier than 9.1. You need to enable the Net.TCP Port Sharing service to share services with other application and avoid a port conflict.

Note: The portSharingEnabled setting in the Citect.Ampla.ServiceModel.Bindings.config file is set to True by default.

To enable port sharing, modify the following files:

• SE.SPO.AmplaService.exe.config

• Citect.Ampla.ServiceModel.Bindings.config

Enable the port sharing setting

1. Locate the files in the AVEVA Production Management installation path. For example: C:\Program Files\AVEVA\Production Management.

2. Open the files with an editor and find the port sharing setting.

   • For Citect.Ampla.ServiceModel.Bindings.config, do the following:

     1. Remove the comment tags from the first binding element as highlighted in the following screenshot.

     2. Add comment tags to the next binding element as highlighted in the following screenshot.

        

   • For SE.SPO.AmplaService.exe.config, remove the comment tags from the DependentPortSharingService key entry as shown in the following screenshot.

     

3. Save and close the file.
