No, use of the portmapper is optional. However, if you do NOT specify a port with TCD-Specific-Port then you must use the portmapper. In this case the portmapper will get a port assigned by the OS. If you do specify a port you MAY also choose to use the portmapper. In this case the server registers the port with the portmapper so that clients that do not know the port can find the server. If you're running multiple servers on the same system (I have test servers with mutliple versions from 4.5.2 thru 7.5 running) I'd recommend you consider not using the portmapper - this way you have to specify a port when connecting, which may make it less likely you'll get connected to the wrong one by mistake....

Do I NEED to set one of the severs to use portmapper? I installed the first and am having quirky problems. If I "rpcinfo -p" the server there are no RPC ports assined to Remedy. I have confirmed the /etc/rpc file has been updated to include the Remedy RPC ports. Exporting is a big problem. I can export a single form, but if I try to export all forms(75) it goes away forever. Of course Remedy support has not been much help.
