Issue/Introduction

When starting up the TOMCAT server for TSSWEB the following error is seen:

java.net.BindException: EDC8116I Address not available.

What can cause this error?

Resolution

The EDC8116I Address not available message can be a result of the requested socket address is not available to the machine. Either an incorrect socket address was used, or there is a problem at the remote node where the socket address should be.

To determine if the socket address/port is reserved check if SYS1.PARMLIB(BPXPRMxx) contains:

INADDRANYPORT(starting_port_number) and
INADDRANYCOUNT(number_of_ports_to_reserve)

If the selected socket address/port is in the range INADDRANYPORT + INADDRANYCOUNT, then the socket address/port is reserved. Change INADDRANYPORT + INADDRANYCOUNT or select a different socket address/port for TSSWEB.

To determine if the socket address/port is in use, issue the netstat TSO command.

Example: netstat (po 8080)
