Ports

Hi,
I would be happy discuss with you about what ports Cognos TM1 actually require since the IBM documentation isn't containing very many examples and pictures displaying this.
I can start with writing down the ports I have stumbled on in the IBM documentation for Cognos TM1 and other Cognos products:
5495 - Admin Server port, which is the unsecured TCP/IP port number on which the TM1 Admin Server listens for client requests. This incoming port should be opened on the server running the TM1 Admin Server component.
5498 - Admin Server port, which is the secured TCP/IP port number on which all Cognos TM1 components communicate with the Cognos TM1 Admin Server using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). This incoming port should be opened on the server running the TM1 Admin Server component.
12345 - Default port for TM1 Server used to distinguish multiple Cognos TM1 Server instances running on the same server. If the Tm1s.cfg file for a TM1 Server instance does not contain the PortNumber parameter, the TM1 Server uses port 5000. Valid port values fall between 5000 and 49151 which should be statically assigned to TM1 Server instances, the ports within this range should be used if a server running TM1 Server is running multiple TM1 Server instances.This incoming port should be opened on the server running the TM1 Server component.
123456 - Example of TM1 client message port since the system chooses the next available port number on startup of the Cognos TM1 Server instances(?). This is a secondary port used to accept client messages concerning the progress and ultimate cancellation of a lengthy operation without tying up thread reserves, ensuring that other server requests can continue to process while waiting for a cancellation form the user. The port must be a unique port number and is set to 5001 by default when the ClientMessagePortNumber parameter is left out in the Tm1s.cfg file for a TM1 Server instance. This incoming port should be opened on the server running the TM1 Server component.
9300 - SOAP communication between Cognos BI servers. Probably not used in Cognos TM1?.
