The HTTP server hosting the Enterprise Console Web Services Adapter is set to use default port <port>. In case the port is already used by another program in the system in which you install the Enterprise Console Web Services Adapter, you will see the following error on startup:
org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol init SEVERE: Error initializing endpoint java.net.BindException: Address already in use: NET_Bind:8080
If you receive the above error message, then you need to modify the port number to be used. Refer to the Port configuration section for information on how to choose different ports.
There may be multiple causes to the problem, as follows:
This can be detected by running the wtdumprl
command at
the Enterprise Console Server. If the screen output shows "Parse error" messages for
the events, it indicates that the events are not compatible with the
rule base in use at the Enterprise Console Server. Refer to the Enterprise Console 3.9 Rule
Developer's Guide document for information on how to modify the Enterprise Console
Server rule base.
This can be detected by looking at the contents of the file temp/cache.dat. This file is used to hold events that cannot be sent to a Enterprise Console Server due to the server being down or simply running slowly. Once the Enterprise Console Server becomes available again, the events are automatically flushed to the server. refer to the Enterprise Console Forwarding configuration section for more information on how to modify some of the configuration parameters or enable debugging for the transport library.
The above problems are the most likely problems found in the Enterprise Console Web Services Adapter. Additional problems may require assistance from IBM support, in which case you may be asked to recreate the problem with log collection turned on.
Please refer to Enabling log collection for the Enterprise Console Web Services Adapter for information on how to turn on log collection for the Enterprise Console Web Services Adapter.
