Re: Webfacing Server connection Socket closed

Mike Hockings and Cheri Duchrow ....
Thanks for your responses, my application is now running.

Following both of your leads, I went back to the application and the
deployment descriptor to address the problem. The ip address that I use
for RSE and remote testing wouldn't work on the inside WAS on the i5
because of DNS issues. After giving it a fully qualified name that DNS
could resolve on the inside, rebuilding the app and reinstalling on the
WAS v6.1 ... it works. Now I'm wondering about the wisdom of the
deployment descriptor containing the host name.

Thanks again.

Re: [WDSCI-L] Webfacing Server connection Socket closed







WAS on the same machine as the WF server should NOT be trying to grab port

4004 or it will not work. That is, either WAS or the WF server will fail

to bind to the port. 4004 is the port used by the WF server, not WAS, at
least for the default config.

Port 4004 should be serviced by the WebFacing server itself. Look in your

WF project and check that the CL invocation settings for the WF'd app you
are trying to run is pointing to the right address for your i5 and that it

is configured to use port 4004. Since your WF server seems to be running
and responding to port 4004 I would expect the problem to be that the
project is not pointing to the same place.

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
