OD Protocol

Ottawa_IWOV

Hi All,
Does anyone know exactly what protocol Open Deploy uses. I assume it is a proprietary protocol. Can anyone shed some light on this issue for me.

Thanks,

Hi Lucas

Good question! I guess that you mean for communication from the Source to the Target. I would guess it is a proprietary protocol running over the TCP/IP layer -- I am presuming that TCP/IP is required although I haven't seen that documented anywhere (pretty academic these days I guess). Seeing as it appears to be Java based they are probably just opening a stream on a socket (or what-have-you)...
If you are using SSL then the stream is encrypted.

There is also mention in the doco about RMI but I am presuming this is in relation to interaction between OD and the Operations Server or TeamSite OpenAPI.

I don't know if this helps as I am not quite sure exactly what your issue is? No doubt Todd will be able to shed some more light on this!

Cheers, Michael

Yes - it's a proprietary protocol over TCP/IP that is used for transferring the file data, JavaRMI is used for communications with the OpsServer, AdminServer, ReportDB, etc.

Hence, you only need to have the single TCP/IP port (default 20014) open through your firewall if you want to deploy content, but you need other ports open (for JavaRMI) if you want to be able to administrate the remote machines and/or collect Reporting data from the remote machines. See the section on port configuration in the OD manual for more detail about the various ports.
