New to HIS 2006 - Have some basic questions..

[dchristensen]

We are setting up HIS to test what it can bring to our mixed environment of mainframe and networked systems. We have HIS set up on a server with appropriate firewall access to the mainframe.

We'd now like to install the HIS client on developer workstations, but can't seem to locate what ports need to be exposed through the firewall in order for the client/server connection to take place. Does anyone know which ports are required for the client to connect to the HIS server?

When setting up host data files within HIS, can this be accomplished via the client or does it have to be accomplished on the server?

I'm sure that we'll have more questions, but these two will work as a starter.

Have learned that ports 1477 & 1478 TCP/UDP need to be open between the workstation and the HIS server in order for communication to work.
