PM54359: THE WTX 8.4 LAUNCHER AGENT IS NOT ACCEPTING CONNECTIONS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On servers that have IPV6 installed, the WTX Launcher Agent
  admin screen does not display and the agent is not accepting
  connections.
  
  By default, the Launcher Agent administration utility can be
  accessed by going to:
  
  http://localhost:80/admin
  
  A problem loading page error will be displayed.
  
  Additionally when trying to send requests to the Launcher Agent,
  the requests do not appear to be received.  The launcher does
  not show any requests received and there are no errors.
  

Local fix

• WTXCQ - WTX00039628
  TR / TR
  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  WebSphere Transformation Extender Launcher Agent user that
  desires IPV4 communication on a platform that also enables IPV6
  communication.
  Problem Description:
  The Launcher Agent could not respond to HTTP ipv4 requests
  whenever an ipv6 protocol was installed on the host system.
  Platforms Affected:
  ALL
  

Problem conclusion

• The Launcher Agent is now able to simultaneously communicate
  over both IPV6 and IPV4 TCP/IP protocols.  Before this fix, the
  Launcher Agent would require IPV6 communication, particularly
  if the ipv6 protocol was installed and enabled by default.
  With this fix, HTTP-based "admin" and other map requests can be
  submitted under both protocols.
  Delivered in:
  8.2.0.6, 8.3.0.5, 8.4.0.1
