However, the SAS Analytics Platform server might have problems communicating with clients if a random port number is used.

SAS Enterprise Miner 5.2 Specific Steps:

In addition to applying hot fix 12APCORE01 or 13APCORE02 to the SAS Analytics Platform server, you need to manually edit some control files. Whether you apply 12APCORE01 or 13APCORE02 depends on the version of the SAS Analytics Platform server you have installed. Please determine the version before applying the hot fix.

The easiest way to determine the version is to go to http://yourserver:6098 and click on the "Configuration" tab. Under the "Configuration" information, there is a section labeled "Analytics Platform" that contains the version number.
