Resolution

The error message could be a false positive. Meaning, it has nothing to do with ports but rather to do with Java. If you have recently upgraded Java version (e.g. from 1.7.x to 1.8.x) or somehow lost JAVA_HOME from your environment, please check and make sure JAVA_HOME is defined correctly pointing to correct version/path where it is installed.

After adjusting/correcting JAVA_HOME, attempt to restart.

If the problem still persist, try starting the service manually.

i.e.

As an 'administrator' , if you go to C:\Program Files\CA\RCM\Server\eurekify-jboss\bin and run the .bat file (i.e. eurekify.bat) manually from there.
