WebSphere DataPower - Best practice for specifying port values

Troubleshooting


Problem

A DataPower best practice when configuring services or protocol handlers is to specify a port with a value of less than 10000, or to consider use of the Ephemeral Port Starting Point setting available in DataPower version 5 firmware.

Symptom

A port conflict occurs when a service, protocol handler, domain, or the appliance is restarted or disabled and then enabled. If a port conflict occurs, you will see an error message in the logs such as:

[my_domain][mgmt][error] xxxx(handler_name): trans(ttt): Operation state transition to up failed
[my_domain][mgmt][error] xxxx(handler_name): trans(ttt): Failed to install on port
[my_domain][mgmt][error] xxxx(handler_name): trans(ttt): Protocol Handler failed to go active
