2.4 Understanding Network Connection Requirements

Consider your network configuration when determining where to install AppManager components. Typically, a basic AppManager setup requires the following network connections:

  • TCP/IP and ODBC connectivity between the QDB and management server on separate computers

  • TCP/IP and RPC connectivity between the management server and each agent computer

    The management server must resolve the names and IP addresses of agent computers, and agent computers must resolve the name and IP address of the management server.

  • ODBC connectivity between report-enabled agent computers and the QDB

  • TCP/IP and ODBC connectivity between the QDB and the Task Scheduler service

  • TCP/IP and ODBC connectivity between the CCDB and the Task Scheduler service

  • Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) connectivity between the CCDB and each managed QDB

    You can check DTC connectivity before you install Control Center components. For more information about checking connectivity, see Using the Control Center Configuration Checker Utility.

  • ODBC connectivity between the Control Center console and the CCDB

  • TCP/IP and ODBC connectivity between the Operator Console and the QDB
