For basic database operation and connectivity from remote clients, such as Sql*plus, Oracle call Interface (OCI), Open Dat Abase Connectivity (ODBC), Object Linking and Embedding database (OLE DB) applications, and so on, the following EXECUTABL Es must is added to the Windows Firewall exception list:

• Oracle_home\bin\oracle.exe -Oracle Database Executable

• Oracle_home\bin\tnslsnr.exe -Oracle Listener

IF you use remote monitoring capabilities for your database, the following executables must is added to the Windows Firewa LL exception list:

• Oracle_home\opmn\bin\opmn.exe -Oracle Process Manager

• Oracle_home\jdk\bin\java.exe -JVM

3,Firewall Exceptions for Oracle Gateways

If your Oracle database interacts with non-oracle software through a gateway and then we must add the gateway executable to The Windows Firewall exception list. Table 5-1table lists the gateway executables used to access non-oracle software.

dg4mqs.exe	Oracle Database Gateway for WebSphere MQ
dg4mqc.exe	Oracle Database Gateway for WebSphere MQ
dg4odbc.exe	Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC

4,Firewall Exceptions for Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM

If you installed the Oracle Grid Infrastructure software on the nodes in your cluster and then you can enable the Windows Fir ewall only after adding the following executables and ports to the Firewall exception list. The Firewall Exception list must is updated on each node.

• Grid_home\bin\gpnpd.exe -Grid Plug and Play daemon

• Grid_home\bin\oracle.exe -Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) executable (if using Oracle ASM for Storage)

• Grid_home\bin\racgvip.exe -Virtual Internet Protocol Configuration Assistant

• Grid_home\opmn\bin\ons.exe -Oracle Notification Service (ONS)

• Grid_home\jdk\jre\bin\java.exe -JVM

5 , Firewall Exceptions for Oracle RAC Database

For the Oracle RAC database, the executables that require exceptions is:

• oracle_home \bin\oracle.exe   -Oracle RAC database instance

• oracle_home \bin\emagent.exe   -Oracle Enterprise Manager agent

• oracle_home \jdk\bin\java.exe   -for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Console

In addition, the following ports should is added to the Windows Firewall exception list:

• Microsoft file sharing System Management bus (SMB)

  • User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports from 135 through 139

  • TCP ports from 135 through 139

• direct-hosted SMB traffic without a network basic I/O system (NetBIOS)

  • Port 445 (TCP and UPD)

6,Firewall Exceptions for Oracle Cluster File System for Windows

IF You use Oracle Cluster File System for Windows (OCFS for Windows) to store the Oracle Clusterware files, or Oracle RAC Database files, then you must add the following exceptions to the Windows Firewall:

• Grid_home\cfs\Ocfsfindvol.exe -OCFS for Windows Volume Service

• %WINDOWS_HOME%\system32\drivers\Ocfs.sys -System file for OCFS (if using OCFS for Windows for Oracle clusterware storage)

7,Firewall Exceptions for other Oracle products

In addition to all the previously listed exceptions, if you use any of the Oracle software listed in, then you must create An exception for Windows Firewall for the associated executable.
