Issue/Introduction

SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class com.ca.intertest.services.IntertestServletContextListener
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: port out of range:99999
.at java.net.InetSocketAddress.checkPort(InetSocketAddress.java:155)
.at java.net.InetSocketAddress.<init>(InetSocketAddress.java:197)

The correct port number is used when running HLQ.CAVHJCL(CAVHDPLY).
Where does port number 99999 come from?

 

Resolution

The port number 99999 comes from BLSPORT setting in hlq.CAVHOPTN(CAVHUOPT).
This BLSPORT number is used for SYSPLEX environment.
If the site cannot use the highest port number such as 99999, then set BLSPORT to a different port number.
