This is the public portal for all IBM Z Hardware and Operating System related offerings. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Any application doing a socket call to bind or connect to a IP address, or to get a port number from the TCPIP stack during startup can fail with LE's error message "EDC8116I Address Not Available" for the errno. It's up to the application to provide additional details such as the reason code for the error explanation. The error message "Address Not Available" can be misleading when there is no problem with the IP address but no port was available. Example reason code for no available ports is x'xxxx7231' which means:
ErrnoJr: 29233 JRBINDNOPORT
Description: No port is available. Port entries have reached the maximum number
If the application does not provide the reason code, then the problem has to be recreated (if possible) along with application trace and TCPIP component trace (SYSTCPIP CTRACE) to get the reason code for problem determination. Note that the message explanation did reference the return code but not the reason code for more information. Here's the URL:
