HP Softbench CM
Port 6110 is designated for HP Softbench Configuration Management (SoftCM), a component of Hewlett-Packard's Softbench integrated development environment. It facilitates communication and operations related to configuration management processes during software development, enabling version control and collaborative work for development teams..
HP Softbench was an integrated development environment offered by Hewlett-Packard in the 1990s, providing a graphical interface and tool integration to streamline software engineering tasks. The Softbench CM (Configuration Management) component was integral to version control, change management, and collaboration among developers. Port 6110 enables communication between client interfaces and the configuration management server component, facilitating source code check-in, check-out, and concurrent project coordination.
Communication over this port typically supports management operations on the central code repository, such as querying project status, updating revisions, or synchronizing changes. It uses both TCP and UDP protocols for various control and data transfer functions, optimizing responsiveness and reliability within the development environment. The protocol facilitates message exchange that informs developers of changes, conflicts, or merges required in collaborative software efforts.
Today, Softbench and SoftCM are largely obsolete, replaced by modern version control systems such as Git or Subversion. Nonetheless, legacy environments or archived projects might still maintain Softbench deployments, thus requiring knowledge of port 6110 and its usage characteristics.
