Assigning static request ports

Hi,
Due to our firewall deployment, we have to assign static request ports for serveral servers in the CMC in BI 4.0. This can be done manually, but we would like to script; we plan to use silent install so one wrapper script to do the install and then assign the ports would be great!
Note this is BI 4.0 on windows... so my feeling is this is not possible (windows is not great for scripting), but would be really happy to be proven wrong!
Thanks,
Tadhg

First and foremost, this definitely belongs in Idea Place.  Whether it be setting command line arguments via the BIP SDK, or setting default firewall configuration for new services, this behavior would be useful in a number of scenarios, including onboarding new tenants in a multi-tenant environment.  In the XIR2 days you could have accomplished this through a simple .reg file that modified the service parameters in the Windows registry.  Since the SIA now controls the relevant services they read their command lines from the system database like Graham mentions.
I do have a couple of thoughts on this, though I admit I haven't tested any of this so can't guarantee it would work.
Set your requestport properties in a test environment, and use the BIAR command line option (see section 15.5 on Page 520 of the FP03 admin guide) to backup the relevant server instances.  You could use a query like:
select si_id, si_kind, si_current_command_line from ci_systemobjects where si_kind = 'server'
Since the default servers should always have the same SI_ID you could script the LCMCLI to update your server objects with the appropriate command line immediately following the installation.
Again not entirely sure this would work but perhaps something worth trying...

  • Assigning static port address

    Hello All,
    We are having a standalone BOE server. I have a doubt about assigning static port addresses to servers. We had a standard deployment of BusinessObjects 4.0 SP2. Our admin has assigned static request port address to APS, CMS, FRS, Crystal report servers and Dashboard server instead of using "Auto assign".
    Does it necessary to assign static port address to these servers and does it necessary to open these ports on firewall?
    What are the advantages of assigning static port address instead of using "Auto assign"?
    As per my understanding, request port of APS, FRS and other servers are used to communicate those with CMS. And CMS and all other servers are hosted on the same server. Then why do we need to open those ports on firewall in a server.
    Appreciate your help and suggestions.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Aashutosh

    Hi,
    if you dont have a Firewall in between your Client PCs and the BOE Server you dont need to assign static ports. You only need this if a Firewall is controlling the communication between these two parts.
    Most of the Services communicate only with the CMS - thats correct.
    But if you use the BI LaunchPad only for vieweing and creating Reports like WebI you need to open the Port 8080 for the Application Server.
    If you are using Front- End Clients for viewing and or editing Reports you need to open the CMS Port 6400 and assign a static Port to the IFRS and OFRS and open these ports too.

  • SQL Server 2012 - 3 SQL clustered instances - one default/ two named instances - how assign/should assign static ports for named instances

    We have two physical servers hosting 3 SQL 2012 clustered instances, one default instance and two named instances.
    The default instance is using port 1433 and the two named instances are using dynamic port assignment.
    There is discussion about assigning static port numbers to the two named clustered SQL instances.
    What is considered best-practice?  For clustered named instances to have dynamic or static ports?
    Are there any pitfalls to assigning a static port to a named instance that is a cluster?
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Hi RobinMCBC,
    In SQL server the default instance has a listener which listens on the fixed port which is TCP port 1433. And for the named instance the port on which the SQL server listens is random and is dynamically selected when the named instance of the SQL server
    starts.
    For Standalone instance of the SQL server we can change the dynamic port of the named instance to the static port by using SQL server configuration manager as other post, however, in case of the cluster, when we change the port no. of the named instance
    to the static port using the method described above, the port no. again changes back to the dynamic port after you restart the services. I recommend you changing the Dynamic port of the SQL Server to static port 
    on all the nodes , disabling and enabling the checkpointing to the quorum.
    For more information, you can review the following article about how to change the dynamic port of the SQL Server named instance to an static port in a SQL Server 2005 cluster.

  • Assigning Static IP (not local static, internet) to server

    I use linksys router in my office. WRT54GS V4
    I have T1 line and my ISP provides 5 Static IP address.
    DHCP option is turned on in my router. My server is connected to the router.
    If I configure my server with static IP that my ISP provided, my server will not connect to internet.
    It seems to me that only way to assign static IP to my server is to get a switch/hub
    and connect server and my router to this switch/hub.
    Or turn off DHCP option and configure networksetting for each PC n my office. For this case,
    I have to assign some with local IP and some with static IP. Can it work?
    If you have any suggestion, let me know. 
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The WRT54GS is a consumer router. It does not support multiple public IP addresses.
    The only way it will work is the way you already found: connect a switch to the internet line and then connect the server and the internet port of the WRT to the switch. Of course, you should make sure to configure the firewall on the server very well as it is fully exposed to the internet.
    Otherwise you have to get a business router which supports multiple public IP addresses, e.g. the Cisco Small Business series or better.

  • How do I assign static ip address on time capsule

    I want to assign static ip addresses to certain devices in my home but not sure how to do it through the iMac and Air Port/time capsule

    Not sure as I don't own an Apple router but on mosdt modern routers there is a way to set, that is SET, a constant IP for devices by their MAC address, that is Mac, Media Access Control address not Mac computer.
    I would think Apple has included that feature in their Airport routers.

  • How to assign static ip address to the server having solaris 10. i.e. nge0

    hi,
    how to assign static ip address to the server having solaris 10. i.e. nge0 i.e. 192.168.3.125 ipshold be persistantt across reboots. what steps do i need to follow to put all information including gateway,netmask etc..Also i want to integrate one init script ..can i integrate it using /etc/init.d/<service name> like linux. and do chkconfig on it?i am not getting complex procedure of SPF and FMRI etc..can u help me?

    Create a file in your /etc directory called hostname.nge0. Add the hostname of your system to this file. In your /etc/hosts file, assign the static IP address you want to the same hostname. You can then disable and enable the network-physical service to configure the network interface:
    svcadm disable network-physical
    svcadm enable network-physical

  • OIM 11g - Modify Assign Roles request

    Hi everyone,
    I would like to know if it's possible to modify Assign Roles request in order to restrict the available assignees. I mean for example, if a manager wants to create a new Assign Roles request, he will be able to select only users whose he is the manager of.
    If someone knows how to do that he will be really helpfull !
    Thanks in advance,
    Thibault

    Thanks for both of you !!
    Indeed it's OOTB and it didn't work for me because there was another authorization policy configured for REQUEST_ADMINISTRATOR which allowed them to search for all users. And because all of my requesters had this role, they could search for all users. So I configured a new request template which allow a role, that I had already created before, to create request and now it works fine.
    Thanks !!

  • WCF static send port, use of custom behavior to change the endpoint location?

    The send port is outbound to various web service endpoints, all of which is the same WSDL just different location. Prefer to use the static port for features like ordered delivery. Is it possible to change the Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Address dynamically
    by a custom behavior?
    https://ninithepug.wordpress.com/

    Hi,
    You can make static send ports partially dynamic, this can be achieved in a custom pipeline component in the send pipeline.
    You should refer to the below mentioned articles:

    In BW Transport process  is little different than R/3
    In RSA1 transaction click on Transport connection>Choose Object types>Query Elements>Query>Choose your query and drag in to right side panel and click on transport objects and assign a request to your query.

  • Set Project Assignment of Requests as Mandatory in Change RequestManagement

    Hi Guys,
    I am working solution manager 4.0 CHARM implementation. now my issue is i want to set project assignment of requests as mandatory in CHARM. but when i go to transaction code /tmwflow/cmsconf i dont find any projects.
    Before this i have created a maintenance project for CHARM with maintenance cycle and activated change request management and i also generated IMG project for my maintenance project, but still i could not find any projects in /tmwflow/cmsconf. Therefore i would like to request you people to give your valuable inputs for this at the earliest possible.
    Thanks&Regards
    Raju

    Hi Yorker,
    For the first part of your question where you want to make a field mandatory in the sales view of article master, you can do it through t-codes OMSR and OMS9 where you can find the field selection group to which your field is attached and change that field to reqd entry.
    And for the secod part where you want to find out articles where this field does not have a value. Goto SE16N or SE16 and for that field click on the selection options button and select = and leave the field blank. This will give you all articles that don't have a value in this field.

  • How to do a silent configuration of SQL Server 2005 to a static tcp port ?

    Hello,
    I have a SQL server 2005 but after checking the ports of sql server,it is observed that dynamic ports are being used.
    I want to install SQL server 2005 and configure SQL serevr to a static TCP port by using silent mode of installation.There are ways to do it using SQL configuration manager and using server network utility but I want it through the silent mode.
    Please help to assist how this can be achieved through silent mode of installation.

    Hi AshishB,
    According to your description, you want to configure SQL Server to a static TCP port by using silent mode of installation. I recommend you use WMI scripting and the SQL Server WMI provider. After installation, change the TCP/IP port with the script. For
    more information about silent installing with fixed TCP port, you can review the following article.
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/914f8b72-3164-47ae-91fb-f7ed6f8ea7e6/silent-install-with-fixed-tcp-port?forum=sqlexpress
    There is detail about how to configure that manual by launching the SQL Server configuration manager, enabling TCP/IP connections, specifying the ports from the command line, you can review the following post.
