Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management - Agent Option for Enterprise Applications Description, User's Guide and Reference

Appendix E.2 Firewall passage directions

If there is a firewall between PFM - Manager and PFM - Agent for Enterprise Applications, you must set fixed port numbers for all services of PFM - Manager and the PFM - Agent. To enable communications to pass through the firewall for all services, the port numbers that you set must comply with the directions shown in the following table.

Table E-2 Firewall passage directions (between PFM - Manager and PFM - Agent)

Service name	Parameter	Passage direction
Agent Store service	jp1pcstom[nnn]#	Agent <-- Manager
Agent Collector service	jp1pcagtm[nnn]#	Agent <-- Manager

Legend:

Manager: PFM - Manager host

Agent: PFM - Agent host

<--: Direction in which communications (connection) begin, from the right-hand item to the left-hand item.

#

When multiple instances of the service are created, a sequential number (nnn) is appended to the second and subsequent instances. The first instance does not have a sequence number.

When communications (connection) begin, the service receiving the connection request (pointed to by the arrow) uses the port number listed in Table E-1 as the reception port. The service sending the connection request uses an available port assigned by the OS as the transmission port. The range of port numbers used depends on the OS.

For Agent <-- Manager above, set the firewall in such a manner that the transmission port used temporarily by the Manager can pass the reception port of the Agent.

Note

To execute the jpctool db dump (jpcctrl dump) command or jpctool service list (jpcctrl list) command on a PFM - Agent host, use one of the following methods:

• Specify the proxy option of the jpctool db dump (jpcctrl dump) or jpctool service list (jpcctrl list) command to communicate through PFM - Manager. For details about the proxy option of the jpctool db dump (jpcctrl dump) or jpctool service list (jpcctrl list) command, see the chapter that describes commands in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Reference.
• For each PFM - Agent host, set port numbers in the directions shown in the table below so that communication can pass through the firewall.
  

  Service name	Parameter	Passage directions
  Agent Store service	jp1pcstom[nnn]#	Agent <--> Agent
  Agent Collector service	jp1pcagtm[nnn]#	Agent <--> Agent

Legend:

Agent: PFM - Agent host

<-->: Directions in which communications (connections) begin: from the left-hand item to the right-hand item, and from the right-hand item to the left-hand item.

#

When multiple instances of the service are created, a sequential number (nnn) is appended to the second and subsequent instances. The first instance does not have a sequential number.
