Re: Webfacing Server connection Socket closed

If you are running this using the test server within WDSC check to make sure
that test WAS server has 4004 as a port listed in it's configuration.
It used to be in previous versions of the test WAS server configurations
that I would have to add 4004 port to the test server.
Startup your test server and then right click on it and go to the admin
console. If you are familiar with the WAS admin console you should be able
to navigate and find the port setup. Just in case:
Go to the servers and select the Application servers. You may have to
scroll down but on the screen will be a Ports link. Click on it and you
will see a list. Add one that has * as the host and port 4004 as the port.

In a WAS 5.x test server it was a little easier to add ports to the server.


Also verify that the iSeries has the two system values setup correctly:
Qautocfg has to be set to yes
Qautovrt has to be set to *nomax

In all of my traveling to various environments helping people setup
WebFacing these two system values had to be set this way for WebFacing to
work.

Problem
We have built a webfaced application, installed it on WAS and started the
app. After launching the application and entering a logon and password,
the app server attempts to connect to the WF server -http://local
IP:10016/AM/WFInvocation.do and then the error occurs.
We assumed it was the Webfacing server, checking PTF's, making sure the
port was open, etc. and can not identify the problem.

NETSTAT indicates the WF server is never touched when the application
tries to connect

However, if we URL to http://99.99.99.99:4004 or http://local IP:4004
NETSTAT indicates that the WF server is listening and shows a hit on the
server

Question:
How do I troubleshoot the connection between the Websphere app server and
the Webfacing server?

Information:
V5R4
WAS V6.1
WF Server BUILD VERSION 200601261300 and PTF's applied
WF server is running
