Having quite a few issues with web services? a few questions:

1) Can you have two brokers with biphttplistener listening on the same port? or should they be sepereate ports?

2) Searched the documentation but cant find any mention of setting the biphttplistenertracelevel? any ideas?

3) I created two test flows, one as the httprequest node in and the other flow is acting as a web service(containing httpinput and httpreply node). I'm getting numerous timeouts and abends when trying to run the flows. Any ideas on how best to debug these?

all help much appreciated.

Carl.

Hi Carl,

Unfortunately I don’t have exact answers to your questions, but we have used the HTTPInput, HTTPReply and HTTPRequest nodes in our current project somewhat, here is little that I know about them.

I haven't tested, but I would guess that they should be on separate ports on single machine. Please let me know if it is otherwise ?

No ideas, we haven’t tinkered with WBIMBs trace settings, but I know that there exists following (undocumented) environment variables at least in AIX version of WBIMB for HTTP listener stuff.

MQSI_LISTENER_STDOUT
Purpose : Used to get the standard output of HTTP Listener on console.
Accepted Values : 1 (Any +ve value)

MQSI_LISTENER_STDERR
Purpose : Used to get the standard error output of HTTP Listener on
console.
Accepted Values : 1 (Any +ve value)

What CSD/Fix pack level do you have in WBIMB? For fixing the abends you could try to apply the latest Fix Pack 6 (released 3 days ago).

Our dev. environment is currently in Fix Pack 4 level, and we experience abend only in one case, that is when one our flows uses first time HTTPRequest node after the broker has been restarted it abends, but after that it works fine. On using HTTPInput / HTTPReply nodes we haven’t had abends.

For generally debugging the HTTP functionality, as a start I would try to debug the flows separately. For simulating the HTTP POST request to HTTPInput node using flow we have used quite nice CURL (http://curl.haxx.se/) -tool.

Regards,

You can not share the same address+Port between any two programs. If your machine has two different IP addresses, you can have one biphttplistener running against port 80 on IP1, and the other on port 80 on IP2. If you only have one address, you can only have one ANYTHING listening to a particular port number.
