Question In the Relay Service log the following error message is reported.

"Error while initializing servlet - [IO error]:ServerFactory(): Error setting socket option (java.net.BindException: Address already in use.)."
Answer This error message informs the administrator that the Relay Service were unable to allocate a command port using the parameters servlet.commandipaddr, and servlet.commandport supplied in the Relay Service property file.

The resolution to this problem is one of the following:

  1. Running WebSphere on iSeries make sure that the correct IP Address is specified for the parameter servlet.commandipaddr. Do NOT use the parameter <default>.
  2. Make sure that the IP address specified is correct.
  3. Make sure that the TCP port specified is not all ready being used by another process.
