Issue/Introduction

Port 8044 is not listening after installing XCOM for AIX 11.6 on AIX 6.1.  Getting " XCOMU0298E Unable to allocate remote transaction program: Txpi 211: Socket connect error return value =79".

Changing the configuration of inetd and restarting inetd and XCOM, did not help.

Environment

XCOM™ Data Transport® for AIX 11.6

Cause

  In this case the message was caused by not having configured the /etc/services file with the "txpi' statements.

Resolution

 You must have the following statements in the /etc/services file:

• txpi 8044/tcp        #CA XCOM txpi IPv4
• txpis 8045/tcp      #CA XCOM txpis IPv4 SSL
• txpi6 8046/tcp      #CA XCOM txpi6 IPv6
• txpis6 8047/tcp    #CA XCOM txpis6 IPv6 SSL

Once you have corrected or added the statements to the file you must recycle inetd with command "refresh -s inetd". If necessary stop and start inetd with commands "stopsrc -s inetd" and "startsrc -s inetd".
