Ports used in OBIEE

Just a couple of weeks ago I ran into a situation at a customer-site. They have Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) already installed, but wanted to use both the softwares separately, but on the same server. Therefore I had to change some of the ports OBIEE normally uses.

For this I spent a little time with collecting all the ports OBIEE uses. Most of the ports I found out by doing the simple command netstat -a -b -v (you can simply pipe them into a file with netstat -a -b -v > usedports.txt in a dos-box) and  by checking pretty much all of the configuration files. With the options -b -v netstat determines which is PID is the originator of the port usage.

I thought it could be of interest for you, so here they are:

Port used for found
5555 Oracle IIOP-server port (Internet Inter-ORB Protocol) internal-settings.xml
5556 Oracle IIOP-server SSL port internal-settings.xml
5557 Oracle IIOP-server Client-Server SSL port internal-settings.xml
7000 Discovery port for coordinator of Java cache javacache.xm
9127 JMS Server port jms.xml
9700 Monitor Controller port for Intra Cluster Communication with Cluster Controllers NQClusterConfig.INI
9701 Monitor Server port for Intra Cluster Communication with clustered Analytics Server NQClusterConfig.INI
9703 - Remote procedure call port of Oracle BI Server
- Outfacing port used for ODBC connections		 NQSConfig.ini

NQClusterConfig.ini
9704 standard port for OC4Jinstanceconfig.xml
9704 - used for Web Browser access, in Catalog manager etc. default-web-site.xml
9705 standard port for BI Server scheduler instanceconfig.xml
9706 Client controller part Clustering NQClusterConfig.ini
9710 port for presentation services and ISAPI isapiconfig.xml
9810 Java Host port instanceconfig.xml
23791 Remote Method Invoker (RMI) port rmi.xml
23943 Remote Method Invoker (RMI) SSL port rmi.xml


Hope, this helps some of you when wondering why that port is used and you cannot remember of which software. If I forgot something just let me know and I will add it.

So long,

Andreas

FYI

Port 9704 is the OC4J port, 9710 is the presentation services port.

Can u please let me know how to expose OBIEE reports and Dashboards on the INTERNET rather than on Intranet.

I guess we need to open the PORT 9704 TO INTERNET.

Please give suggestions.

Hi Raja,

if you want to use the standard config you any case need to open port 9704 to the Internet, means your firewall has to make this visible to the outside.

Another option is to change the port to anyone already open (like 80 or 8080 - see more details from my blog-fellow John Minkjan here: obiee101.blogspot.com/.../obiee-running-it-on-other-web-port.html)

But anyhow, for both cases I recommend using the SSL connection, which you can define in the OC4J settings like my blog-fellow also described already here obiee101.blogspot.com/.../obiee-running-it-as-https-ssl-service.html.

HTH.

Have a good one and so long,

Andreas
