About Managing Firewall Ports

When you use Oracle Cloud Marketplace to deploy Oracle Analytics Server and create the domain, only ports required for a single-node install are open by default. Post deployment, you can customize the default configuration file (DefaultSingleNodeOASFirewallPorts.xml) to open other ports or change the default port values to suit your environment. If you edit the firewall ports, you must run the script open_oas_firewall_ports.sh to effect your changes.

If you create the domain manually using config.sh, you must also use the same script (open_oas_firewall_ports.sh) to modify your firewall port configuration.

If you scale-out your Oracle Analytics Server environment, you must open some additional ports and run the script open_oas_firewall_ports.sh to effect your changes. For details, see Scaled-out, Multi-node Environment - Default Firewall Configuration.

Single Node Environment - Default Firewall Configuration

• Minimum Required Ports

  The following tables list the open ports that are required for a single-node environment and their default values.

  Oracle WebLogic Server Components	Default Port
  Admin Server (HTTP)	9500
  Admin Server (HTTPS)	9501
  Managed Server bi_server1 (HTTP)	9502
  Managed Server bi_server1 (HTTPS)	9503

  Oracle Analytics Server Components	Default Port
  Cluster Controller (OBICCS)	9508
  BI Scheduler (OBISCH)	9511
  BI Server (OBIS)	9514

• Default Configuration

  The default open ports for a single-node environment are configured in the file DefaultSingleNodeOASFirewallPorts.xml as shown:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <!--DefaultSingleNodeOASFirewallPorts.xml-->
  <service>
  	<short>OAS</short>
  	<description>Oracle Analytics Server</description>
  	<port protocol="tcp" port="9500"/>
  	<port protocol="tcp" port="9501"/>
  	<port protocol="tcp" port="9502"/>
  	<port protocol="tcp" port="9503"/>
  	<port protocol="tcp" port="9508"/>
  	<port protocol="tcp" port="9511"/>
  	<port protocol="tcp" port="9514"/>
  </service>

Scaled-out, Multi-node Environment - Default Firewall Configuration

• Additional Required Ports

  The following tables list the additional open ports that are required for a scaled-out topology and their default values.

  Oracle WebLogic Server Components	Default Port
  Managed Server bi_server1 (internal	9505
  Node Manager	9506

  Oracle Analytics Server Components	Default Port
  BI Presentation Services (OBIPS)	9507
  Cluster Controller Monitor	9509
  BI JavaHost (OBIJH)	9510
  BI Scheduler Monitor (OBISCH_MONITOR)	9512
  BI Scheduler Script (OBISCH_SCRIPT)	9513
  BI Server Monitor (OBIS_MONITOR)	9515
  WebLogic Coherence Cluster	9516

• Additional Configuration

  Additional ports are required for a scaled-out environment. You must add these additional ports to a custom configuration file, and then run the script open_oas_firewall_ports.sh to effect your changes. For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--MyScaledOutMultiNodeOASFirewallPorts.xml-->
<service>
	<short>OAS</short>
	<description>Oracle Analytics Server</description>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9500"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9501"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9502"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9503"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9508"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9511"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9514"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9505"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9506"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9507"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9509"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9510"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9512"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9513"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9515"/>
	<port protocol="tcp" port="9516"/>
</service>
