WIP4SAP Ports Used

If you want to connect WIP / VM to a SAP system you will find here the list of ports to open in the firewall

PORT

Usage

PORT

Usage

6400-6410 (6450)

Base CMS ports in auto assign mode

6405

Default REST Api Port

8080, 443

For example, on Tomcat the default HTTP port is 8080 and the default HTTPS port is 443.

This is the base ports that should be opened. You can find the “Request Ports” in the properties of the Servers like below.

Use the port number you specify in the server Request Port box on the server's Properties page in the CMC. Remember that each server on a machine must use a unique port number. Some SAP BusinessObjects servers use more than one port.

Specifying the firewall rules

You must configure the firewall to allow the necessary traffic between BI platform components. Consult your firewall documentation for details of how to specify these rules.

Specify one inbound access rule for each communication path that crosses the firewall. You might not need to specify an access rule for every BI platform server behind the firewall.

Use the port number you specify in the server Request Port box on the server's Properties page in the CMC. Remember that each server on a machine must use a unique port number. Some SAP BusinessObjects servers use more than one port.

Note If the BI platform is deployed across firewalls that use NAT, every server on all machines needs a unique Request Port number. That is, no two servers in the entire deployment can share the same Request Port.

Note You do not need to specify any outbound access rules. BI platform servers do not initiate communication to the web application server, or to any client applications. BI platform servers can initiate communication to other platform servers in the same cluster. Deployments with clustered servers in an outbound-firewalled environment are not supported.

Example

This example shows the inbound access rules for a firewall between the web application server and the BI platform servers. In this case you would open two ports for the CMS, one port for the Input File Repository Server (FRS), and one port for the Output FRS. The Request Port numbers are the port numbers you specify in the Request Port box on the CMC configuration page for a server.

Sample with Windows firewall, in that case we open 6400-6450 to be sure it encloses all servers “Request Ports” else you need to open CMS and for all server uncheck auto assign and note the server port.
