 A fix is available

Obtain the fix for this APAR



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
A "gethostbyaddr" failure can occur with multiple TCPIP stacks
and if the "HTTP Transport host name" needs to configured (via
Customization Dialogs).  Error that can be seen are:

BBOO0040E Function gethostbyaddr failed with RV=0, RC=1,
RSN=00000000, ■EDC5001I A domain error occurred.

You may see requests coming into the HTTP transport port
(non-SSL) through the wrong IP stack.

The fix for this apar will only affect the "HTTP transport
host name" which needs to be configured for multiple TCPIP
stacks. It will not affect the "ORB Listener host name".
Local fix
None.  You can only use Single IP stack with "HTTP transport
host name".
