APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
If two or more J2EE servers are configured to use the same HTTP
port, one server will start successfuly and the "second" server
will abend with DC3 and reason 000C0006 because of minor code
C9C21277.  Please note that abend DC3 and reason 000C0006 may
occur for many other reasons.  DC3/000C0006 needs to be
accompanied by C9C21277 and BBOU0044E for EDC8115I to match
this scenario.  A HTTP port can only be used by one J2EE server
and the customer must fix the customization of the servers to
pick different ports for the different servers (including server
instances).
.
This apar is to clarify the messages that appear in the
WebSphere error log and exception tracing.  Currently, in
addition to the C9C21277 minor code, the following message is
seen (in the WebSphere error log):
./bbochses.cpp+2509 ... BBOU0044E Function bind() failed with
RV=-1, RC=1115, RSN=744C7247, .EDC8115I Address already in use..
.
The message issued when a 'port in use' error occurs should be
clarified to indicate the port number that is in use and
indicate 'port in use' rather than 'address already in use'.
Local fix
When the symptoms you see match this apar, check the values of
BBOC_HTTP_PORT and BBOC_HTTP_SSL_PORT to make sure each port is
unique for each server instance if they are non-zero values.

Abend DC3 and reason 000C0006 may occur for many other reasons.
In the case of "bind() failed with RV=-1, RC=1115, RSN=744C7247,
EDC8115I Address already in use" the message issued when a
'port in use' error occurs should be clarified to indicate the
port number that is in use and indicate 'port in use' rather
than 'address already in use'.
Problem conclusion
A new message (BBOU0831E) has been added indicating port number
and port in use when bind() fails with RV=-1, RC=1115,
RSN=744C7247.
