Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance Servers

Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance is a software package that extracts most of its data for analysis from Netcool Configuration Manager - Base (for example, device configurations.) It then populates its database with these configurations and then will use its policy definitions that were created by the customer to analyze those configurations for violations.

Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance Database Server

Unlike the Netcool Configuration Manager - Base database server, this server will only be servicing one main client and that is the Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance server itself.

It listens for SQL queries on port 1521 or port 50000 by default. Like with Netcool Configuration Manager - Base, the Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance administrator should be able to connect to this database using SQL Developer and/or similar tools from the client management system.

Unlike Netcool Configuration Manager - Base there is no defined API for Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance so connecting to the database is the only realistic way of exporting data.

Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance Server

The Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance server will be listening for end user client connections on ports 7003 or 7004 (for secure connections) as well as on port8002 for requests from the GUI. Ports7003 and 7004 are defaults used at install time and can be changed.

These were chosen on the chance that Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance would be installed on the same server the presentation or reporting server was located on. Unlike Netcool Configuration Manager - Base, Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance uses ports7003 or 7004 to download the Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance GUI to the user's desktop cache.

Once the GUI is started, it will communicate with Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance over 8002 for any put or gets to the Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance server. The Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance server will also need to be accessible for the Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance administrator to work at the command line. The preferred method is SSH (port22) or Telnet/FTP (port20,21,23) for system administration functions.

Netcool Configuration Manager - Base Presentation server: Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance will connect to the Netcool Configuration Manager - Base Presentation server on port 16310 or 16311 (for secure connections) to authenticate users to the Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance GUI and check their security settings for devices in the network. It will also communicate over this channel to synchronize device configurations, set up remedial command set actions, and check on remedial actions success or failures.
