The server port used for Inter Workflow communication, when one EC contacts another EC, is specified by the EC property pico.rcp.server.port. If no port is set, a dynamic port will be used and the port number will change each time the EC is restarted. To let the firewall allow a connect operation, the property pico.rcp.server.port has to be set to the same port number as the specific port opened by the firewall.

Example
EC1 on Host1 is configured with "RCPPort1", and EC2 on Host2 with "RCPPort2".
To allow EC1 to open a connection to contact an Inter Workflow storage on EC2, EC1 will make a TCP connect from Host1 to Host2 on port "RCPPort2".
In this case, "RCPPort2" has to be allowed by the firewall.
Database Communication
For performance reasons, Audit information is logged directly from an EC to the database.
