Description

This article describes the port configuration of a G-Map Server.


G-Map Server Port Configuration

A G-Map Server requires one port to receive and respond to REST requests.

  • requestPort - 8050 (default) - Receives client requests.
  • The port number may be changed at DevOps's discretion.
  • The user enters the port number (configured by DevOps) when launching a G-Map Server. 


Detailed Port Deployment Example of a G-Map Server (GMS)

The diagram below shows a detailed deployment of a G-Map Server (GMS), a GMUS, and a G-Repository Server (GRS) within a Test Environment. In this example, all three servers are installed and run on the same Linux machine.


Here are key points to observe from the diagram:

  • GMS, GMUS, and GRS are installed on a machine whose IP address is 192.168.100.10.
  • GMS has its port configured to 8050
  • GMUS has its port configured to 9010
  • GRS has its cloudPort configured to port 443.
  • GRS has its mainPort configured to port 8020. 
  • GRS has its downloadPort configured to port 8021.
  • GRS is communicating directly to GenRocket Cloud over HTTPS via port 443.
    • Each GenRocket Cloud component has its own unique URL 
    • Each GenRocket Cloud component only allows access over HTTPS via port 443.
  • Clients directly request the GMUS via IP address 192.168.100.10 and port 9010.
  • GMUS loads a Scenario.
  • GMUS uses the GenRocket Engine (GE) to run the Scenario.
  • Specific GenRocket Generators send data to and receive data from the GMS via port 8050.
  • Specific GenRocket Receivers send data to and receiver data from the GMS via port 8050.  


Notes:

  • The GMS, GMUS, and GRS can only access ports your DevOps team makes available.
  • Configuring your machines' internal protocols is your DevOps team's responsibility. 
  • Selecting and opening port numbers is left to the discretion of your DevOps team.
