ADD_AQ_PORT_RANGE

The ID of the machine to which the port range is added. If this field is input as "ALL" or "0", the port range will be added to all machines.

The port at which the port range starts.

TIBCO iProcess Engine uses Oracle Events for inter-process communication. Because it does not use a fixed port number, iProcess cannot communicate with Oracle Events across a firewall.

Corrected. It is now possible to specify a range of AQ port numbers to be used in iProcess for communication through the firewall with Oracle Events.

Ensure that you 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 as described , ensure that your firewall is configured to allow access for the iProcess AQ port range that you defined as well as the iProcess RPC port range, and any required Oracle ports (such as the default port 1521).

The following two new 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.

The following new commands are provided in the SWDIR\util\swadm utility to manage the two new tables:

Use the following command to add a new port range in the aq_port_range_conf table.

swadm add_aq_port_range {<machine_id>|ALL|0} <start_port> <count>

<machine_id> - The ID of machine to which the port range is added. If this field is input as "ALL" or "0", the port range will be added to all machines.

<start_port> - The port at which the port range starts.

<count> - The range size for the port range.

This command outputs a <range_id> which identifies this port range.
