Network connection settings

The table below lists the ports that are used by default to access the Blue Prism Process Intelligence components or for interaction between components. If you are using a software or hardware firewall, make sure that the exception settings for the Process Intelligence and Recording Service components have been set up accordingly on the computer on which they are installed.

If you reassign port numbers, you will need to make changes to the appropriate Windows Firewall rules or to the settings of any other firewall that you are using.

Please note the following:

  • The Recording Service and Process Intelligence components must be installed on separate computers. These components use different versions of PostgreSQL. They cannot be installed on one computer.
  • For interaction between the Recording Service and Process Intelligence components, you must use the same protocol, for example, HTTP and HTTP, or HTTPS and HTTPS. If you are going to use Process Intelligence in the Cloud, use HTTPS.

Process Intelligence

The Process Intelligence setup does not create any software or hardware firewall exceptions. You must set up exception settings to allow interactions between components to take place inside a network. For example, you create inbound and outbound rules in Windows Firewall. The table below contains information about the ports that Process Intelligence listens on.
