****************************************************************
NodeAgent does not kill the appserver when appserver can not
be stopped by nodeagent for being not responsive. So when the
nodeagent try to restart the AppServer it is failing with port
conflict error.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • The code is corrected to make sure nodeagent is killing the
appserver if it can not be stopped for being not responsive.
The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
8.5.5.24 and 9.0.5.17. For more information, see 'Recommended
