Hi Dojo - follow up from other replication questions, such as
https://community.dataminer.services/question/ports-for-element-replication/
and
I understand port 443 &/or port 8004 can be used between the DMAs.
Scenario: running CUBE from a dedicated Azure VM, connecting CUBE to "DMA-X" to configure an element replication, where the source element is on "DMA-Y" (DMA-X & DMA-Y are using the same version and have the same protocol for the replication to happen).
DMA-X <----------- element replication---------------> DMA-Y
{CUBE client VM connected to DMA-X}
If I run CUBE from an Azure VM (sort of secured jump-host),
is it sufficient to have communication from the client VM to DMA-X?
I was expecting that the data for the replicated element would flow only between the DMAs, but from this page it seems that while configuring element replication, the CUBE client must be able to connect to source DMA too: is it an old requirement or is it still the case?
Hi Alberto,
It is still a requirement for Cube to have direct access to both DataMiner agents.
You first log in on the DMA where you want to create the replicated element (1), and during the configuration Cube will connect to the DMA where the source element is located (2), using the provided credentials, in order to retrieve the list of elements to choose from. When the element is configured, SLProtocol on the DMA with the replicated element will connect to SLNet on the source DMA (3) to subscribe on the parameter changes.
Hi Bert,
Thanks for the clear diagram and the speedy confirmation – much appreciated!
Marking as solved
