# System Architecture

## Component Overview

Migration-center has 3 main components: **Database** component, **WebClient** and **Jobserver** component.

The **Database** stores all the migration-center configurations and all scanned and imported objects with their source and target metadata.

The **WebClient** is a web based UI where you can manage all the scanner, importer and migset configurations and you can trigger scan, import or transformation jobs. The WebClient can be installed on a machine in your network and then accessed from multiple other machines through a web browser (see [System Requirements](https://docs.migration-center.com/24.3/system-requirements#webclient) for supported browsers).

The **Jobserver** component receives the scan or import configuration from the Client and connects to source/target systems to extract/import objects, processes metadata into/from the Database and the content into/from the file system staging area. Multiple Jobservers can be installed.

## Component Port Connections

The **WebClient** connects as follows:&#x20;

&#x20;\- to the Browser via port 443\
&#x20;\- to the Database using connection via information provided by the user (default: 1521 for Oracle, 5432 for Postgres)\
&#x20;\- to the Jobserver via port 9700 by default

The **Jobserver** connects as follows:\
&#x20;\- to the Database via JDBC connection on the same Oracle/Postgres port as the Client\
&#x20;\- to each source or target system differently based on the system itself

When using the **Scheduler** feature on an **Oracle database** the job will be triggered by the Database instance itself, from the Database machine, by sending a socket signal to the Jobserver via the defined port (9700 by default).
