Cause

The is JLMException caused when the agent is not able to connect due to blocked ports or because of authentication issues.  

 

Resolution

The outgoing and incoming ports used by Informatica must open between the CA WA Agent and the Informatica server. 

Also, the Agent requires an open connection to the database.  The DB ports must also be open for agent so that the JDBC driver can connect to the backend database of the Informatica instance.
