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>
