Database Link - What ports are used?

I am attempting to create a database link from a very locked down server (Database A) to Database B which is on my internal network.
Can someone tell me what ports I need to open in the firewall for a database link to work correctly? My Database B instance is a XE instance running on the default port 1521.
Thanks,

Thanks,Hans and Devotee have given you the best info so far. I'd like to expand and clarify slightly on their comments.
There is really nothing special about a db-link. It is just another client process, being used by the 'client' database. It uses exactly the same networking pieces as does sqlplus on the same machine. All of the same considerations are there ... tnsnames.ora on the client machine matching up with the listener configuration on the target machine, listener ports, port redirection for establishing the actual server process, etc. I would start by getting a sqlplus connection working. When you have that, you know you have all of your network configuration issues resolved. At that point any issues you have with the dblink will be in the link definition itself.
And as Hans pointed out, databases don't run on port 1521. It is a conceptual mistake to think of the database as "running" on any port. By default the listener uses port 1521 to listen for connection requests. The database knows nothing about that. It is also very easy, and not that uncommon, to configure the listener to use another port instead of or in addition to 1521, so it is also a mistake to treat port 1521 as if it were some immutable value.

  • RFC: What Ports are used

    We are trying to establishing a connection from ECC6.0 to a cFolders System. The Systems are in different LANs but are able to reach each other. For security reasons we have to open ports that are used by RFC. Can anyone tell me what ports are used by RFC?

  • What Ports are used by Wake on Lan?

    Anybody know what UDP ports are used by ZFD's remote wakeup services?
    We need to enable directed broadcasts on our network to get WOL to work
    across our routers. However, directed broadcasts are quite popular with
    denial-of-service attackers, so we'd like to limit them to certain UDP
    ports.
    I believe that different WOL software products use different UDP ports
    for their Magic Packets. But I can't find Novell's in any of the
    documentation...
    Thanks!

    you could use something like Ethereal to check, but AFAICR it's 1765

  • What ports are used for handshaking signals?

    I want to use Handshaking Digital I/O on an AT-MIO-16DE-10, and I want to know if there are extra digital I/O lines used for this, or if there are independant handshaking connections. I can't seem to find any documentation which warns that you can only get 7 bits out of a port if you use handshaking. Or you can only use ports 2,3,4 because port 0 is used for the handshaking signals.
    Any hints would be appreciated.

    Great, actually, I found this information, and would like to re state my question. Now that I know what ports I should be using (this is described in detail in the hardware manual for the E series), I would like to see some definite information about what I must do in my external device to make use of these signals.
    I'm a little confused by some comments in the documentation that some of the facilities of Port C (on the 8255) are only avialable if I use register level commands (as if using the parallel port). If I use the DIG_Prt_Config and set to handshaking (input) on a port, then I assume I set up my external hardware as if Port C was in Mode 1(input), and then follow the timing described in the E Series manual.
    It's just a shame that everything o
    n the PC side is well described, but there are no application notes that I can find about building an external device that can use the handshaking signals.
    If 'you' (anyone) can confirm what my assumptions, or point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it greatly.
    Thank you.

  • HT6160 What ports are used for Apple Configurator to function with IPads?

    Need to know what ports need to be allowed for Apple Configurator to function.

    Apple Configurator runs locally on an OS X computer. It requires a USB connection. So no ports required for connecting Configurator to iPads.
    However, there are some ports that need to be opened for iPads to work with Apple's server if you are behind a firewall. Here is a list of known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6175?viewlocale=en_US
    To use iPads behind a firewall (Configurator or not), you'll want to definitely open 5223 for Apple Push Notification and the standard ports for HTTP/HTTPS (80 and 443). If you're using an MDM, you will likely need to open 2195 and 2196 as well.  If you still have issues port watch and see what an iPad does when trying to get to the store.
    Hope this answers your question!

  • How do i find what ports are being used.

    I need to know how to tell what ports are being used and by what. I recently bought Apple Remote Desktop and have been pretty impressed but I have one computer here that won't let me Observe or Control. I think it is because the G4 in question has a program using port 5900. I need to confirm this is there any way that I can see if this port is being used?
    Thanks
    Moderith

    Hi Moderith--
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Look in your Utilities folder for the Network Utility program. Open it, and choose "Port Scan" from the row of tabs in its window. If you're not running Network Utility on the problematic G4, use the G4's IP address. But if you're actually on the G4, use "localhost".
    Note that if you check the open ports on the G4 from another computer, you won't see as many as if you check it from the G4 itself. That's because some ports are only local. For example, I have enabled the mail server on my Macs, but only to deliver mail, not relay it. So if I do a port scan using "localhost", I see port 25 open, but it's not open from another computer.

  • What defaults Ports are used by UCM?

    Hi All,
    Could anyone please let me know what all ports are used by UCM and their purpose. Appreciate you help on this. Thank you
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ashok

    UCM:16200, IBR:16250, IPM:16000
    You should be able your ports easily if your run the WLS console (server:7001/console), search under Environment - Servers
    What's their purpose?
    Each application is a separate J2EE application deployed on an app server, listening on a different port. UCM is the content repository, IBR is a conversion server, IPM is a module designed for imaging

    The backup storage location and the UCCX server are seperated by a firewall.
    What ports are required to be opened on the firewall to allow the backups through to the backup location.
    Can't find any info online

    Try it locally on the server itself.
    You just need to create a shared directory backup oon the server on C:\ drive.

  • What reports are used to send PO, Conf and Inv from MM to SUS?

    Hi dudes
    What reports are used to send PO, Conf and Inv from MM to SUS?
    Regards
    Raj Kumar

    Hi Raj kumar,
    First implemting MM-SUS or EBP-SUS XI is mandatory. For sending a PO, it 's standard process. You have to define partner profile and once you create a PO system geneartes an IDOC with orders02 and send to XI from there goes to SUS.
    For confirmation you have to run the report rpoddelvery report . this reports sends all the GR's to SUS.
