Veritas Enterprise Vault (EV) Compliance Accelerator (CA) and Discovery Accelerator (DA) have enhanced reporting so that customers can create customized reports using datasets that have been exposed for OData access.  OData access uses TCP/IP port 8086 by default.  If this port needs to be changed due to another application using that port, complete the below steps to configure OData to use a different TCP/IP port.

1. Log onto the CA / DA server using an account that has local Administrator privileges, such as the Vault Service Account (VSA).
2. Open an Administrative Command Prompt.
3. Type into the prompt window and execute the command net stop "Enterprise Vault Accelerator Manager Service" to stop the Enterprise Vault Accelerator Manager Service (EVAMS).
4. Type into the prompt window and execute the command iisreset /stop to stop all IIS services.
          Note, leave this Administrative Command Prompt open until instructed to close it.
5. Launch Windows Explorer.
6. Navigate to the CAReporting / DAReporting folders located in the CA / DA installation folder.
     For CA, the default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault Business Accelerator\CAReporting
     For DA, the default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault Business Accelerator\DAReporting
7. Locate and select the file web.config.
8. Make a backup copy of this file.
9. Edit this file in a text editor such as Notepad.
10. Locate the <appSettings> section that should be near the top of the file or by using the Find feature to search for <appSettings>.
11. Add the following line before the section end line of </appSettings>:
          <add key="AcceleratorServerPort" value="8086"/>
12. Change the port number 8086 to the new port number used for the CA / DA Client access to the server.  For example. if the default TCP/IP port 8086 is changed to 15051, change "8086" to "15051".
13. Save and close this file.
14. Return to the Administrative Command Prompt window.
15. Type into the prompt window and execute the command iisreset /start to start all IIS services.
16. Type into the prompt window and execute the command net start "Enterprise Vault Accelerator Manager Service" to start the Enterprise Vault Accelerator Manager Service (EVAMS).
17. Close the Administrative Command Prompt and Windows Explorer.
18. Log off of the CA / DA server.
19. Restart the application used to access the OData datasets.
