RSCM Server Port Usage
iCDBNetLauncher listens for client requests to open a project on Port 9000 by default.
iCDBNetServer processes connect clients with a project on Ports 10000-10100 by default.
You can configure which ports the RSCM Server processes use. See Launcher.cfg Configuration File and Server.cfg Configuration File.
The default range of 10000-10100 gives 101 open ports. If you know you will use fewer ports than that, reduce the number of ports in the range to limit the number of open ports.
To view port information for a project’s iCDBNetServer process, see Viewing iCDB Server Information.
Example
The following example describes the processes that run on the RSCM Server and the ports in use at each point.
iCDBNetLauncher runs continuously on the RSCM Server listening for client requests to open a project on Port 9000. The File Server contains Project 1 data and Project 2 data.
Client 1 requests to open Project 1. iCDBNetLauncher starts an iCDBNetServer process that connects Client 1 to Project 1 through Port 10000. iCDBNetLauncher continues to listen for other client requests on Port 9000. The File Server contains Project 1 data and Project 2 data.
Client 2 requests to open Project 1. Project 1 is already open on Port 10000, so Client 2 gets access to Project 1 through the iCDBNetServer process that is already running for Project 1. iCDBNetLauncher continues to listen for other client requests on Port 9000. The File Server contains Project 1 data and Project 2 data.
A third client requests to open Project 2. iCDBNetLauncher starts another iCDBNetServer process that connects the third client to Project 2 through Port 10001. iCDBNetLauncher continues to listen for other client requests on Port 9000. The File Server contains Project 1 data and Project 2 data.
