Issue/Introduction

CICS Agent does not start and we are not able to see any agents in DEVTEST

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Cause

The LPAR agent is configured like this on the mainframe:  2018:10:25 10:15:57 - LPAR Agent started. Version: VA30 Compiled: Oct 9 2017 1  2018:10:25 10:15:57 - Using configuration file: //DD:CONFIG  2018:10:25 10:15:57 - ---: Name = CA Lisa LPAR Agent BAnK 2018:10:25 10:15:57 - ---: Mode = Server  2018:10:25 10:15:57 - ---: PortClient = 3997  2018:10:25 10:15:57 - ---: PortAgent = 3998  2018:10:25 10:15:57 - ---: BufferSize = 65536  2018:10:25 10:15:57 - ---: MaxBufferSize = 65536  on DEVTEST side, in the local.properties you have configured the Mainframe Bridge as:  lisa.mainframe.bridge.enabled=true  lisa.mainframe.bridge.mode=client  lisa.mainframe.bridge.server.host=10.0.x.xx  lisa.mainframe.bridge.server.port=3998 The Bridge Mode is Client. the bridge server port set for 3998; which is defined as CICS agent port.  The lisa.mainframe.bridge.server.port needs to be set to port 3997 in local.properties to match the setting that is configured for the PortClient in the LPAR Agent.

Resolution

The bridge server port needs to be set to port 3997 which is the client port  Change:  lisa.mainframe.bridge.server.port=3997  in local.properties file Restart all DevTest components.
