Introduction:
CA Automation Point needs to communicate with other products, devices.
This is done by using the TCPIP IP address, or TCPIP hostname.. However also via specific ports sometimes.
These ports are sometimes protected by a proxy or firewall.
Question:
What ports does CA AP use?
And can be be modified?
And where can they be modified?
Answer:
For the new APO r11.x server install, here some information on the ports used by CA AP.
The ports CA AP uses depends on the services you install :
23 Unicenter Automation Point - Telnet Session
389 Unicenter Automation Point - NM web Security Options : Changed via CA AP Config Mngr, Expert, Notification, Notification Manager, NM Security
444 Unicenter Automation Point - Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP)
1202 Unicenter Automation Point - CCI-PC (unencrypted) : Changed via CA AP Config Mngr, Expert, Automation, Events Interface, CA OPS/MVS EMA, CCI Settings
1203 Unicenter Automation Point - CCI-PC (encrypted) : Changed via CA AP Config Mngr, Expert, Automation, Events Interface, CA OPS/MVS EMA, CCI Settings
1721 Unicenter Automation Point - CCI-dist (encrypted) : Changed via CA AP Config Mngr, Expert, Automation, Events Interface, CA OPS/MVS EMA, CCI Settings
2000 Unicenter Automation Point - PPQs - configurable : Changed via CA AP Config Mngr, Expert, Infrastructure, PPQ
4099 Unicenter Automation Point - NM website
5099 Unicenter Automation Point - NM Web Gateway : Changed via CA AP Config Mngr, Expert, Notification, Notification Manager, NM Website
5500 Unicenter Automation Point - Remote Viewing : Changed via CA AP Config Mngr, Expert, Automation, Remote Viewing
5501 Unicenter Automation Point - Unicenter Security for AP Sessions

6200 Unicenter Automation Point - WebMV : Changed via CA AP Config Mngr, Expert, Automation, Web Msg Viewer, Advanced
6205 Unicenter Automation Point - WebMV : Changed via CA AP Config Mngr, Expert, Automation, Web Msg Viewer, Advanced
6300 Unicenter Automation Point - WebMV : Changed via CA AP Config Mngr, Expert, Automation, Web Msg Viewer, Advanced
7000 Unicenter Automation Point - CCI-dist (unencrypted) : Changed via CA AP Config Mngr, Expert, Automation, Events Interface, CA OPS/MVS EMA, CCI Settings
7000-7004 AP to NSM
8443 Unicenter Automation Point - Tomcat for TLS
9803 AP Web services - notification : Changed via CA AP Config Mngr, Expert, Infrastructure, Web Services, Automation
9804 AP Web services - notification : Changed via CA AP Config Mngr, Expert, Infrastructure, Web Services, Notification
All the ports are TCP.
And the HMC and SNMP ports are both UDP and TCP ports.
CA AP can use TN3270 :
CA AP uses a communication server that supports TN3270 (such as OSA-Integrated Console Controller (OSA-ICC) or IBM 2074 Console Controller)
to host either operating consoles or VTAM applications using TN3270E connections through IBM 3278/3279 model 2,3,4, or 5 display terminals.
And for TN5250 :
For IBM iSeries connections, CA Automation Point supports the 5292 terminal type only. This provides a 24x80 screen size.
If you want to use the HAF interface to monitor HMC messages, CA AP uses these specific ports :
151
152
161
162
3151
3152
3161
3162
10151
10152
10161
10162
