IZ66784: HTTP LISTENER START MAY FAIL IF RESTARTED TOO QUICKLY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Starting the HTTP listener may fail if it has only recently
  been stopped because the listener port may not have been
  released.
  

Local fix

• Not Applicable
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of WebSphere Message Broker using starting and
  stopping the HTTP listener
  
  Platforms Affected:
  All Platforms
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  No retry enabled when the listener is started, so a transient
  failure because of a temporary problem results in a general
  failure.
  

Problem conclusion

• WebSphere Message Broker has been modified such that a retry of
  the listener start over a period of up to 100 seconds has been
  added.
