Wan Optimizer

[guugll]

hello guys, one silly question:

if i want to connect to WAN Optimizer running on my PC, can i just use adress: 127.0.0.1:4242   ?
is the port for EA connection string same like for the Admin console?
Maybe i am blind and can not find it in the installation manual...

my EA connection string:

EA_test_wanOPT --- DBType=3;Connect=Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1;Password="somePassword";Persist Security Info=True;User ID="someID";Data Source="someDB";WanOpt=127.0.0.1:4242;LazyLoad=1;

i have the bad feeling that the port is different but... (61244?)

Yes, the default port for the WAN Optimizer is 4242.

Why exactly are you trying to connect to the WAN Optimizer on your local machine though?  It won't give any performance improvement in that scenario.  Is it just for testing purposes?

Also - The WAN Optimizer was effectively replaced by the Cloud Services feature in EA 11.  If you need to improve performance connecting to a repository over a WAN connection, I'd recommend installing Cloud Services instead of the old WAN Optimizer service.

hi, thx for answer.
i found out the port and tried to setup some test - this works but now having some authentication issues.

The reason for Wan Opt... before DB is slow VPN and no HW for installing Cloud Service - i would try them, just can not find them for download... will try harder or re-register as i already forgot the pass.

back to the issue.
when i use IP i can connect but when i use IP/SID(oracle) then i got an error and can not safe the config for WAN Opt. - it screems that the IP/SID is not recognized in tnsnames.ora

so i can only use WAN Opt. in case i use default DB on each IP...is this correct? as it works for me like that now.

No matter how slow your connection to the DB is, installing either the wan optimizer or the cloud service on your machine will not help the problem. They need to be running local to the DB (with a fast connection to the db)

sorry i missed that.

DB +WAN Optimizer are on local network --- i am thru VPN in the same network.

in case i use connection string host/sid than Wan Opt. does not work
in case just host in string than it works

ok so i found out what caused the issue:
there is 4 ways how to connect to the DB
i am not 100% sure but it looks like WAN Optimizer is not supporting all the way but one: if i use hostName and user/pass
other wsays like hostName/serviceName or hostName/SID this does not work for WO
correct me if i am wrong
