By default, the workplace properties file (wkplc.properties) is located at the following directory on a Linux system.

/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/<your profile>/ConfigEngine/properties/wkplc.properties

The WasSoapPort directive in the wkplc.properties file is used to define the SOAP port that will be used when the ConfigEngine.sh script attempts to make a SOAP connection.

WasSoapPort=8879

The wsadmin.properties file . . .

/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/<your profile>/properties/wsadmin.properties

Should contain the same SOAP port.

com.ibm.ws.scripting.port=8879

You can get the SOAP port in the dmgr admin console, at System administration > Deployment manager > Ports..

Or in the ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/profiles/dmgr_profile/config/cells/your_cell/nodes/your_node/serverindex.xml file.

<endPoint xmi:id="EndPoint_4" host="dmgr.example.com" port="8879"/>
