How does Caliber integrate with SilkCentral Test Manager?

ANSWER
----------------------------------
CaliberRM uses its COM plug-in feature for Test Manager Integration. Each CaliberRM client has the Test Manager COM dll installed and this communicates via web services with Test Manager. Default port for this is 19120. If Test Manager front-end server is configured to listen on a different port, this has to be changed in the Traceability Configuration in CaliberRM too.

Test Manager uses the CaliberRM Java SDK to communicate with CaliberRM server. This uses IIOP and default port is 20000. Additionally the application server uses the MPX Message Broker to get acknowledgement of changes in a CaliberRM project and updates the integrated SilkCentral Test Manager project. MPX is configured per default to use port 5101. Per default it uses TCP/IP but it can also be configured for IP-Multicast Messaging
