APAR status Closed as unreproducible in next release. Error description Customer starting Application Server Region, and in the output of the Application server region, we see: . BossLog: { 0002} 2002/11/22 23:54:19.673 01 SYSTEM=P390 SERVER=RICH PID=0X01010021 TID=0X147DE0D8 00000000 c=UNK ./bbocsess.cpp+3218 ... BBOU0509E Function gethostbyaddr for host ip_addr 255. 255.255.255 failed with RV=0, RC=0, RSN=115C006C, EDC5000I No error occurred. . In the 'current.env' for this application server, the variable 'SRVIPADDR=' was coded incorrectly. This variable should be either a 'dotted decimal address', or the characters 'None'. Note that the variable 'None' is case specific. In this particular case, the SRVIPADDR was coded as 'none', which caused the problem.Local fix Check for the existence of environment variable 'SRVIPADDR' in the current.env of the application server that is failing. If it is coded, ensure that the value it is equated to is either: 1) a valid <dotted decimal address> that you chose. or 2) the value <None>Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Starting a Control Region message * * BBOU0509E is issued for GETHOSTBYADDR * * failure with IP_ADDR 255.255.255.255 * * and RSN=115C006C. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The reported problem can happen if the inet_addr function returns a -1 which is in turn passed to the gethosbyaddr function as IP_ADDR 255.255.255.255. inet_addr returns a -1 when its input is not a valid dotted decimal ip address. The input to inet_addr comes from the SRVIPADDR environment variable. The only non-dotted decimal input allowed here is 'None' and the case must match exactly (upper case N, lower case 'one').Problem conclusion Temporary fix Comments This APAR is being closed UR1 with the consent of the reporting customer.
