Firewall Support of Discoverer 4i

We have been trying to set up dial-up access to Oracle Discoverer 4i.
When our Firewall Administrator opened access to all ports it worked perfectly and very fast but obviously such a configuration is far from ideal. Our Administrator noted
that when monitoring which ports were being utilised, Discoverer kept accessing different and random
ports each time a connection was made. These were the ports utilised :-
15000
1104 XRL
5432 Unassigned
2267
2358
2280 lnvpoller
2305 MT Scale server
2327 xingcsm
2368 opentable
Which ports need specifically to be opened as surely this is not the proper manner that this should work? Our firewall is CheckPoint 4.1 Srv Pack 3.
Thanks
Stephanie Farrugia.

You can configure the port that the Plus applet will communicate thru the firewall using the GateKeeper configuration tool ("gkconfig"). There's a chapter on firewall support in the Discoverer 4i Configuration Guide that should be helpful.
BTW, it should be (by default) communicating over port 15000.

  • Multi-Language support in Discoverer? Best-Practice?

    Dear experts,
    wondering if there is a best practice to provide workbooks/EULs in different languages? Actually we use Business Objects (BO 5.xx) but want to switch to Discoverer. As BO also does not support multiple languages we use as a workaround the VB-interface to translate the text and labels in our reports and universes (EUL) regarding to particular label numbers. Is there some kind of similar interface for browsing/changing Discoverer EULs?
    Do you think the following could work:
    In the "genuine" EUL you specify a unique number to any attibute of an element and after each you start a kind of translation procedure generating two new EULs (e.g. EUL_EN (english) and EUL_DE (german)) with translated labels (Name and Headline attibute of an element).
    As far as I understood the structure of Discoverer's EULs, all attibutes are stored in the database, so it should be possible to find out, which holds the "Name" and which the "Headline" attribute...
    Got what I want?
    At least I need to understand the data model of the EULs...
    Regards,
    Ralf

    Hi Ralf,
    There are 2 types of translations you might want to do: the names and descriptions of your Business Areas,Folders and Items etc in the EUL and the labels and titles in the workbooks.
    To translate the Descriptions in the EUL the easiest approach will be to export the EUL into an .eex file or each component into a .eex file using a script. These .eex files are in fact XML files and the names and descriptions are attributes of the XML BA, folder and item elements. You can then translate these and then import the eex file(s) into a new EUL for the new language.
    Another approach to consider (especially if you are using Discoverer with Oracle Applications and your translations are already held in the database) is to create a language specific EUL. You will need to use the command line to do this and specify the EUL language when you create the EUL. Then import your EUL into the new language specific EUL and use the folder refresh to pick up the translated text from the database. You will probably need to write a EUL_TRIGGER$REFRESH_NEW_COLUMN to do this. If you are using the Business Intelligence views some translations may be done for you when you refresh. I think taking this approach will be a challenge.
    I am afraid there is no easy way to translate the labels and titles in the workbooks. You will have to manually open each workbook in the new EUL, translate the text and save it.
    Hope that helps,

  • I Want Buy Cisco ASA Firewall Supporting SIP

    Hello Guys I want to buy cisco ASA Firewall , that support SIP and Session Border Controller  (SBC) So please can any one tell me the most power full that support this protocols ,, Than you guys

    Hi Vijay,
    If can be done but you need any network management software. I personally dont think you can ask your ask to send mails. ASA can trigger alert to a SNMP configured server which will intern send mail to you

  • JMS and FireWall support

    hi all,
    we have a central server connected to many remote servers over the internet.
    Some of the clients have permanent public IP but some of them are either behind a firewall or are dialuped ones.
    How can my JMS application running on the central server communicate with these servers and send data across.
    Does JMS support data transfer across firewall ?
    suneesh.

    JMS is simply a collection of classes and interfaces defined by Sun that provide a consistent way of publishing and consuming data via topics and queues. JMS does not define how security, firewalls, management and a whole host of other really important stuff should be handled.
    For these important features you need to look at specific implementations. There are free implementations as well as a large group of vendors all providing additional functionality on top of JMS.
    As one of these vendors I would like to introduce you to Nirvana, our messaging solution delivering JMS 1.1 functionality.
    Nirvana (http://www.my-channels.com/products/nirvana.html) has been designed to be deployed externally between an organization, its clients and its partners. It has been designed to accommodate both high and low speed connections ensuring that the lack of performance from one does not impact the other. It has been designed to traverse firewalls and proxy servers.
    Take a look at it in action on http://showcase.my-channels.com/

  • Is ASA 5550 firewall supports BGP

    Hi All,
    Please help me out regarding my question.
    Thank you all in advance.
    Regards,
    Sayak

    Hello Sayak,
    The ASA does not support BGP. Border Gateway Protocol. BGP performs interdomain routing in TCP/IP networks. BGP is an Exterior Gateway Protocol, which means that it performs routing between multiple autonomous systems or domains and exchanges routing and access information with other BGP systems.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa84/configuration/guide/glossary.htmlhttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa90/configuration/guide/glossary.html
    ASA allows passing of BGP sessions through it but just only that. It’s being discussed that it will be supported in the future but there’s no definite date yet.

  • Does the ASA's virtual firewall support to install ASDM?

    model:ASA5525-X
    version:asa915-smp-k8.bin
    ASDM:asdm-731-101

    asdm is simply a gui interface to your console configs and nothing more.
    asdm goes to flash memory / disk memory  and it is a .bin file in the directory.
    you cna use it for both  routed and transparent mode and also for multi context / virtual domains/ virtual firewalls.
    asdm will stay the same for all contexts,  but I believe if you create different usernames under each context and try to login to asdm , it should launch only asdm as per user rights only for that context.

    Is there any limitation on the maximum number of dimensions that can be supported in Discoverer 4i?

  • Firewall ISP Support

    I have a ASA 5540,and i have one ISP connect to it with outside interface and now i want to connect a 2 mbps another isp line to them is it poosible to connect with the use of extended 4ge ssm card.can a firewall support to ISP at a time.

    I would suggest you go for the MULTIPLE_CONTEXT mode on your Cisco ASA, As you mentioned that you are using a 5540 ASA and also running failover, i assume that you either have the Security plus license or the vpn Plus license installed on it.
    To the best of my knowledge both these licenses support MULTIPLE_CONTEXT modes.
    You can either go for a SSM card for the additional ports or if you want to do some cost saving you can use subinterfaces and VLANS on the ASA, with each subinterfaces lying in a different CONTEXTS serving a completely different set of users or applications.
    If you really want to get to the pinaccle of the configuration, you can go ahead and try ACTIVE/ACTIVE failover for the 2 contexts.
    for multiple-context condig you can refer :
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_configuration_example09186a00808d2b63.shtml
    and for Active/Active failover you can refer:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_configuration_example09186a0080834058.shtml
    Active/active failover has several limitations, read the document carefully before you proceed.

  • Discoverer through firewall

    Thank in advance.
    Best Regards

    By Default, Discoverer uses JRMP protocol, which does not necessarily pass
    through the firewall.
    Configure Discoverer to use HTTP instead of JRMP and it will solve your problem.
    The 10.1.2 Discoverer Enterprise Manager allows you to configure this.

  • Discoverer 4i

    Does anyone know when this will be available and is there any documentation we can look at now? Discoverer 3i is missing much of the report forming contained in Discoverer 3.1.
    Thanks.

    I submitted a TAR to Oracle and here's what they said:
    Discover 4i will be shipped with iAS CD packs in Feb, however the early adoptor v 4i will be placed on OTN by the end of this month Dec, and you can download it from technet.oracle.com.
    Unfortunately ability to change Password feature is not included in Disco 4i , it is going to be included in the future release of Discoverer 9i which is going to be released in July.

  • Lion Server: VPN external ports to open on firewall

    With Leopard/SnowLeopard Server, opening ports back to my server @ 500, 1701 and 4500 were sufficient for L2TP VPN.  I had no issues trying to connect to my VPN until I upgraded to Lion (which I'm quickly learning was a big mistake).
    Now it appears that there might be undocumented, additional ports in the new (dumbed down) VPN on Lion Server
    I've got 500, 1701 and 4500 open now... and added 1723 (PPTP) as some people suggested (found via google search).  I still cannot connect from outside my nework - the client acts like the server does not exist.
    Please note that I can connect without an issue from within the network.  When I simply change the hostname to my external host, it no longer is able to connect.  (My firewall supports external reflection when trying to access my external IP - so don't worry about my firewall config, other than port redirection).
    Is there another port besides the four I've listed about that I need to open?

    Yup... all UDP.  I'll mess with getting it outside the firewall. 
    I'm thinking now that it might be a domain/certificate name issue - seeing that all the new certificate trust requirements have already broken other things for me (like web-based stuff, calendars and profile management)
    Is it required by the VPN server that the certificate hostname matches the external hostname?

  • To enable MLS in Discoverer

    Hi,
    Our client wants to enable MLS support in Discoverer. Could anyone of you please help me with what needs to be done for this ?
    Also, for example - an user when he runs a report in Portugese(assuming he has all security profiles enabled) - Will the output be in Portugese fonts ? Will it be a Translation ? or a Transliteration ?
    Any earlier reply is APPRECIATED !!!
    Thanks,

    I assume you mean NLS - National Language Support.
    Given the limited information you provided, the answer is 'yes', you can display your worksheets in multiple languages assuming everything is installed and configured correctly.
    In brief, you will need:
    + to be sure your data in the database is in UTF8 characterset
    + to be sure you have installed Oracle Application Server/Discoverer with the desired/appropriate languages
    + the correct fonts are installed (particularly for double-btye character languages -- i.e. Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, etc.
    + the correct locale is chosen in the Discoverer interface
    This document should help get you started and point you to the links in the Application Server Globalization Guide specific to Discoverer
    How To Find Language (NLS) and Character Information For Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer 10g (10.1.2) (Doc ID 434135.1)
    Additionally, if you are using E-Business Suite, then you will need to be aware that NLS values can be passed via the ICX profiles.
    Hope that helps get you started. Other comments welcomed.

    Steve.
