JSC Firewall Ports
by Pete Meechan

 

 

To configure the Job Scheduling Console (JSC) to work across a firewall (i.e. there is a firewall between the desktop/laptop where the JSC is installed locally and the TWS MDM) a number of ports will need to be opened in the firewall. To determine which port need opening, execute the "showHostProperties" command on the TWS MDM (from a TWS sourced command shell) as shown below

 

showHostProperties

C:\Program Files\IBM\TWA\TWS>showHostProperties
 WASX7357I: By request, this scripting client is not connected to any 
server process. Certain configuration and application operations will be 
available in local mode.
 WASX7303I: The following options are passed to the scripting environment and 
are available as arguments that are stored in the 
argv variable: "[twaserver]"

The "bootPort", "csiServerAuthPort" and "orbPort" settings identify the ports to be opened in the firewall to enable successful access to the MDM when using the JSC.

 

The above settings have been tested with the target TWS 8.5.1.x MDM executing on Linux x64, Windows 2003 Server R2 (32 and 64 bit) and Windows 2008 Server R2 x64 using the Job Scheduling Console 8.4 with fix pack 3 installed locally on a Windows XP SP3 desktop.
