Hi,

I have setup Clover ETL plugin for my eclipse. When i am trying to run a graph, i am getting the below error.

Error: Exception thrown by the agent : java.rmi.server.ExportException: Port already in use: 9999; nested exception is:  
java.net.BindException: Address already in use

I have verified this port, and it is already used by another application. I don’t want to stop that. I want to use a different port for running Clover ETL graph.  
Can anyone suggest how i can modify the default port 9999 for running the graph??

Thanks,  
Manohar
