Issue/Introduction

Igateway service does not start

<Please see attached file for image>

Environment

Service Operations Insight 4.2
Embedded entitlements Manager 8.4

Cause

We enabled debug in igateway by changing the logging.properties files to TRACE

igateway.log

The netstat output shows that there are 136 ports shown ESTABLISHED

The problem is that the system is not able to allocate the a random port to EEM. Hence EEM is not able to start.

Resolution

Restarting the server helped in closing the ports which were held in established status. Hence the EEM server is able to start successfully
