Ports that come in handy in the Hyperion ecosystem

Ports are very important in the use of any application, especially the complex systems such as the EPM System. For example, if you had to type in the URL to access a Workspace, you are typing in the Port as well apart from the Server where the Workspace resides. The concept of Port is even more important if you are doing an EPM installation/configuration. Because we use several different Ports during EPM deployment, knowledge about what Port the different products in the EPM family use becomes very handy.

I have provided the following information regarding the Ports in accordance to system 11.1.2.1. Even though it may hold true to other versions as well, please do refer to manuals as per the version you are using for accuracy.

When an application is accessible via a network it means that it is using a TCP/IP port. When a port is used by an application, it cannot be used by another one. Even during installation/deployment, we will get an error message stating that a particular port is being used by another application. Therefore, the skill to find out what port is being used by what application comes in very handy.
If you want to find out what is using a specific Port, you can open the COMMAND PROPMT and type in

"netstat -aon | more"

or if you know the Port number, you can type in something liek "netstat -aon findstr "6800""

This way you will be able to find out what is being used, whether a particular port is listening, etc.
