Technical Details

what runs on :6402

Port 6402 is assigned to the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Event Server (BOE Event Server). The service handles event notifications in a BusinessObjects deployment, including events used to trigger scheduled jobs, and communicates with other BusinessObjects services such as the Central Management Server. IANA lists the transport as unspecified; BusinessObjects server communications commonly use TCP/IP, but the port alone does not identify a universal wire-level handshake or framing. Treat it as a deployment-specific SAP service rather than a general-purpose client protocol.

security overview

This is an internal application-service port, not one intended for public access. Restrict it to the BusinessObjects hosts and management networks that need it; an exposed listener may reveal or permit interaction with enterprise reporting infrastructure. IANA reports no unauthorized use, and the assignment does not establish whether a particular deployment enables encryption or authentication.
