Replicator ports that have to be open

[Scott]

What port services have to be open with a Linux firewall to perform
replication?

I was hoping that replicator could run thru a single UDP or TCP/IP
port and that is all that is required. However using the Replicator
configuration GUI it appears that you have to setup a port for an
internal web server for replicator as well as an FTP port. Opening up
the multiple ports to our Internet server besides a single port is
quite alarming with respect to unwanted intrusions and the firewall.

Can replicator run thru a single port such as port 5400 which we have
open to the Internet to handle db replication or do I have to open up
other ports like FTP 25, HTTPS 443, PostgreSQL 5432, etc?

We do not need to use the replicator GUI and in fact would like a
publisher/subscriber java sample file(s) to start/stop replicator
unattended when a RDBMS system that is to be replicated is booted.

Hello Scott,

Please find below the answer to your queries

perform
replication?

Ans. You can use any port number which is compatible for Linux.

Q 2. Can Replicator run thru a single UDP or TCP/IP port?

Ans. Yes, Replicator run on a single port. If you want to Replicate in
a secured environment then you must start Replicator or Replication
