Verify port requirements

The installer sets up the ports for components in the

CDI-PC domain

, and it designates a range of dynamic ports to use for some services.

You can specify the port numbers to use for the components and a range of dynamic port numbers to use for the application services. You can also use the default port numbers provided by the installer. Verify that the port numbers are available on the machines where you run the installer.

Services and nodes can fail to start if there is a port conflict.

The following table describes the port requirements for installation:

Port	Description
Node port	Port number for the node created during installation. Default is 6005.
Service Manager port	Port number used by the Service Manager on the node. The Service Manager listens for incoming connection requests on this port. Client applications use this port to communicate with the services in the domain. The Informatica command line programs use this port to communicate to the domain. This is also the port for the SQL data service JDBC/ODBC driver. Default is 6006.
Service Manager Shutdown port	Port number that controls server shutdown for the domain Service Manager. The Service Manager listens for shutdown commands on this port. Default is 6007.
Informatica Administrator port	Port number used by Informatica Administrator. Default is 6008.
Informatica Administrator shutdown port	Port number that controls server shutdown for Informatica Administrator. Informatica Administrator listens for shutdown commands on this port. Default is 6009.
Minimum port number	Lowest port number in the range of dynamic port numbers that can be assigned to the application service processes that run on this node. Default is 6014.
Maximum port number	Highest port number in the range of dynamic port numbers that can be assigned to the application service processes that run on this node. Default is 6114.
Range of dynamic ports for application services	Range of port numbers that can be dynamically assigned to application service processes as they start up. When you start an application service that uses a dynamic port, the Service Manager dynamically assigns the first available port in this range to the service process. The number of ports in the range must be at least twice the number of application service processes that run on the node. Default is 6014 to 6114.
Static ports for application services	Static ports have dedicated port numbers assigned that do not change. When you create the application service, you can accept the default port number, or you can manually assign the port number.

Guidelines for port configuration

The installer validates the port numbers that you specify to ensure that there will be no port conflicts in the domain.

Use the following guidelines to determine the port numbers:

The port number you specify for the domain and for each component in the domain must be unique.

The port number for the domain and domain components cannot be within the range of the port numbers that you specify for the application service processes.

The highest number in the range of port numbers that you specify for the application service processes must be at least three numbers higher than the lowest port number. For example, if the minimum port number in the range is 6400, the maximum port number must be at least 6403.

The port numbers that you specify cannot be lower than 1025 or higher than 65535.
