OBIEE 12c Server Ports - Which ones to open?
I just (finally) got a clean install of my OBIEE 12c instance and I see everything is running, though I can not access any of the URL's (/analytics, /em etc)
Im pretty sure I need to open up the ports on the server in order to be able to access the URL's.
So I was wondering which ports do I need to open exactly?
From the URL's at the end of the installation I know I need at least 9500 and 9502 opened to access /analytics and the /em/console. I also need to open up 9514 to be able to access the RPD in online mode.
But for the rest of the ports do I also need to open them all up? Or are the 3 ports I listed sufficient?
From what I can tell this is the list of ports I have
Weblogic console/Enterprise manager (Admin Server) | 9500 |
OBIEE (Managed Server) | 9502 |
Presentation Services | 9507 |
BI Server | 9514 |
BI Scheduler/Monitor/Script | 9511/9512/9513 |
BI Cluster Controller/Monitor | 9508/9509 |
BI Java Hosts | 9510 |
Essbase Agent | 9799 |
These ports are from a default installation port range.

Open up Enterprise Manager and navigate to your OBIEE coreapplication. Then navigate to the Availability tab and you should see all components and their corresponding ports

If you open only these ports you have web access, catalog manager access (9500 / 9502), admin tool access (9514) and if you need job manager access it's going to be 9511.
The other ports it's about you and what you plan to do: if you need access to the javahost from your admin tool (when importing some special sources using the wizard for example) you will need to open that port.
If you want to connect to Essbase from DVD on your laptop/workstation you will need to open that port.
So your list is the minimum for probably 80-90% of the OBIEE tasks, job manager can add a piece and write a note about opening javahost and essbase if you need them when you will need them.

If I could, I would navigate to my EM (enterprise manager), but currently for any of my URL's I can not access it.
I installed this OBIEE on a remote Linux server, and this server is not under my control to open/close ports (its under our server group).
I had requested that the ports (9500, 9502 and 9514) be opened, which they said they did but I still can not access the OBIEE URL's.
When I check the status.sh I see everything is running so I swear its a server thing, but the server people are not being very forth coming about help currently......

Hey Gianni,
I am at a newbie level at this moment for OBIEE install from the network standpoint. So just to confirm, if I was installing OBIEE in a secure environment I would need only the following ports opened? It's a non-clustered environment.
1- Web access
2- catalog manager
3- Admin tool access
4- Job Manager
5- javahost
6- Essbase
I don't have to worry about opening the ports for
1- Weblogic (3 ports)
2- OPMN (3 ports)
3- ClusterController (2 ports)
4- Scheduler (3 ports)
Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi,
Web access is in a way Weblogic ...
You will need both access to the AdminServer port and the bi_server1 managed server (by default 9500 and 9502).
But yes, in general you will manage to do all you need with that list of access. (You can even remove Essbase if you don't plan to use it for now as well as javahost if you aren't going to import in the RPD some "exotic" sources requiring to use javahost (like for example HFM or Planning).
