Hi,
I have the setup below
When installing BI 4 I want to understand something about ports and what checks need to be carried out prior to install.
The SQL Server is installed first with empty databases setup for Audit and CMS. I have then on BI4_SERVER setup ODBC connection to the databases so i can provide this information in the install.
As default BI 4 uses port 6400 to connect to the CMS (as I understand). In the example above - this would be SQL_SERVER 6400.
- If I try to (prior to install of application BI_SERVER but after the empty database install) telnet to SQL_SERVER 6400. It gets refused. Do I need to setup anything for the database to listen to port 6400?
- If I try to (prior to install of application BI_SERVER but after the empty database install) telnet to BI4_SERVER 6400. It gets refused. Do I need to setup anything for the database to listen to port 6400? The reason for this second question is because in the install logs when i try and install BI 4 i get the following error
*#*_*FWM 20030|Could not reach CMS 'BI_SERVER:6400'. Specify the correct host and port and check for network issues. (FWM 20030)|Could not reach CMS 'BI_SERVER:6400'. Specify the correct host and port and check for network issues. (FWM 20030)*_*#*
- The last question I have is that does the BI 4 application just use port 6400 on the "BI4_SERVER" and then use the ODBC connection to connect to SQL_SERVER. In turn we dont actually use the port 6400 on the SQL_SERVER
Any assistance would be grateful to clear my understanding on this.
Thanks,
