Problems with the SMF Socket Connection

Symptom:

The Cross-Enterprise APM stops immediately after startup.

This problem occurs when the port specified in the ppz.smf.socket.port property of the Introscope_Cross-Enterprise_APM.profile file is in use.

The Cross-Enterprise APM log file shows the following error message:

[ERROR]
   [com.wily.powerpack.sysview.multithread.SMFReaderMasterThread] Socket_Open: Error creating server socket: java.net.BindException: EDC8115I Address already in use.

[ERROR]
   [com.wily.powerpack.sysview.multithread.SMFReaderMasterThread] Socket_Open: Error probably caused by another copy listening on same port. Exiting

Solution:

Reserve the port in ppz.smf.socket.port property for the WILYZOS job.

This port is required for CA SYSVIEW to submit the SMF transaction records to the Cross-Enterprise APM. If you do not reserve this port, you do not get any SMF records from CA SYSVIEW. You also do not get any CICS back-end transaction traces from Cross-Enterprise APM.
