Using Oracle Events Through a Firewall
You can specify a range of AQ port numbers to be used in iProcess for communication through the firewall with Oracle Events.
You must specify enough AQ ports for iProcess system processes. On a typical system, you should specify a minimum of 7 ports for iProcess (sentinel and utility processes), plus an additional port for each process defined in the process_config database table.
In addition to configuring the AQ port range in iProcess, you must ensure that your firewall is configured to allow access for the iProcess AQ port range and the iProcess RPC port range, and any required Oracle ports (such as the default port 1521).
The following two tables are provided:
aq_port_range_conf: this records port ranges including the start port number and the count of the ports.
aq_port_range: this records the state of every port in every range.
You use the SWDIR\util\swadm utility to configure the aq port range. For more information, see the “Administering Firewalls” in the TIBCO iProcess Engine Administrator's Guide.
