Required Ports for SRM MDM Catalog 2.0

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We have installed and configured our SRM MDM Catalog 2.0 on our SRM server. We have installed the MDM desktop applications (Like console) on the server itself for the time being.

We would now like to install the desktop applications on our desktops and connect them to the SRM MDM Catalog server. However, we were facing some issues in that, and we have zeroed in to that, we need to open the following ports in the network / server to enable these applications to connect to the MDM server. The error message I am getting is: Error Starting <<hostname>> (MDM Server): The machine '<<hostname>> is not Windows-based . The MDM Server cannot be started from this application; please use CLIX on this machine instead.

Following are the port numbers we found from various documents, not sure if they suffice.

=====================================

Service Default Port

=====================================

Admin Console 20003, 20005

Server to Server 20004

Import Manager 20006

Syndicator Service 20007

Layout Server 31596, 31597, 31604

Layout Server Quark Express 31602

Layout Server Adobe InDesign 31603

Layout Server 31596

MDM Server 2000 to 2010

Oracle listener 1527

=====================================

We would like to know if these ports are sufficient. Pls let us know your opinion on this.

Thanks in advance,

Abdul

Hi Abdul,

Just check with the operating system which has installed on your machine and Server machine.

both should be same otherwise you have to use CLIX commands.

Hope this will help you.

Any further help then please let me know.

Saurabh, Thanks.

We have MDM Server on Windows Server 2003 and the Console on Windows XP SP2.

I believe this is how MDM Console setup will be. MDM Server on Windows Server and Console on XP.

Thanks again for your help. But I still need a solution to this.

Regards,

Abdul

Hi Abdul,

Instead of using the host name of MDM server machine, just try out with the IP Address of MDM Server machine.

otherwise go to window "Run" and type there as "drivers" then window will open there you can see one folder name as "etc". go inside of this folder u will find a file name as "hosts", open this file with notepad and defined the IP Address against the MDM Server machine host name.

for example:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Just try out with these two options.Hope now this will help you.
