Accessing EspDSeriesService?wsdl cannot be reached

Issue/Introduction

When I try to launch the WebServices URL (ex: http://WebServicesServer:8080/axis2/services/EspDSeriesService?wsdl) I see site cannot be reached. I tried this from the dSeries server.

 

Environment

Release : 12.1

Component : ESPdSeriesWAWebServices

 

Cause

Reviewing the apache-tomcat/logs/catalina.out file confirms that the port(s) it is attempting to use is already in use. 

Example message:

org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.await Failed to create server shutdown socket on address [localhost] and port [8005] (base port [8005] and offset [0])
        java.net.BindException: Address already in use (Bind failed)

 

Resolution

You can confirm ESPdSeriesWAWebServices to use different ports. To do this:

• cd /opt/CA/ESPdSeriesWAWebServices_R12_3
• ./StopDEWebServices.sh
• Create a backup/copy of the apache-tomcat\conf\server.xml file
• Update all port=" references to another set of ports (example: 9005, 9090 and 9443) when it referenced 8005, 8080 and 8443 respectively that are in use.
• ./StartDEWebServices.sh
