QlikView Ports – Service & Client Communication in QlikView

We offer you a brighter future with FREE online courses - Start Now!!

In our previous tutorial, we studied the QlikView Directory Service Connector. Today, in this tutorial, we will learn about all the QlikView ports and protocols working. Moreover, we will see types of ports in QlikView: inbound and outbound ports. Along with this, we will discuss how does a port will connect with a different QlikView component.

QlikView Ports – Service & Client Communication in QlikView

What are QlikView Ports?

QlikView ports are the lifelines for QlikView they are used to establish communications between different QlikView components/service. Using the available ports, you can establish a connection in two ways, one is the communication between a client (web-browsers) and the servers, and another is the communication between the QlikView Services in a standalone or multi-node (clustered) deployment.

The table given below shows the inbound (ports for incoming traffic) and outbound (ports for outgoing traffic) ports used specifically for different QlikView components.

Service Communication in QlikView

When the communications are established only between the QlikView architectural framework or services (QVWS, QVS, QMS etc), then it is known as the service communication in QlikView.

Client Communication in QlikView

When a connection or communication is established between a client and server then it is termed as client communication. The deployment type of servers can be single or multi-node. In any case, all the QlikView services can be installed on one server or multiple.

In the illustration attached below, the port numbers and protocols working between the backend (server) and the front end (client) can be seen. The clients here are all the blocks on the right like QlikView Java client, Java mobile, QlikView Ajax, iPhone client etc. Two protocols QVP and QVPX and port 80 is used to transport data/information between server and client.
